Tomorrow marks the day we will never forget. It been a decade since the September 11th attacks where World Trade Centre once stood. The world cries in sorrow. So much that no words can describe it and even I can't fully fathom it.

The loss of several thousand lives was an atrocity, but another was in the way the world changed, with all the things carried out in its name, where men will trade their liberty in the name of security.

I just typed out a pretty long rant that might have been offensive and promptly deleted it.
Let's just say I agree with Aranator 178%.
-
Funnily enough, I did virtually the same ;)
-
Why didn't? :P
I wonder what rant it is...
Let me guess... a conspiracy about that day?
-
My rant wasn't about any conspiracy or lack of one. I don't know, don't really care too much to be honest - the fact is, it happened and destroyed the lives of a great many people, directly or indirectly. But in the aftermath, the world has ever since been at war 'on terror', and things like the TSA exist out of a misguided sense of trying to 'protect the free world'.

My condolences to those who lost a loved one on 9/11. I remember being in 1st grade and, really, not knowing just how tragic of an event this was. I only remember everyone I knew being glued to the TV for days.

They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

I've been on the top of the World Trade Center. It was a beautiful view. While standing there looking out upon the curvature of the Earth, I never dreamed I might be making THIS decision...

As already said, my true condolences to those who lost a loved one on 9/11. Anyway I'd like to remember (for example) also those who died in the so called Beslan massacre (sept 2004): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beslan_school_hostage_crisis
I don't like that there are victims more important than others..
