Posted September 11, 200420 yr Three Years Later and I am Still Pissed Off It has been three years since "the world changed forever." A lot of things happened since then We probably killed Usama bin Laden and he is never heard from. We bombed two countries, one for no reason. We had more tax cuts. We have a brand new Department of Homeland Security. We have people imprisoned and tortured unconstitutionally. We still have the Bacon Cheese Mushroom Melt at Wendy's... Most of us have strong opinions concerning the above, but there is one thing that almost no one is mad at, because they are afraid to be...remember the September 11th payout to the families so they would not sue the airline companies? Why would the government pay people not to sue? If you die, tough s***, I do not want to pay for it. It is one thing if my drunk driving kills your husband, but if your husband dies because of an assault on America, surely the circumstances are different. We cannot compensate everyone who dies from a catastrophy How about everyone's husbands and family members that died in World War II, Vietnam, Oklahoma City, and ect? I think it is a general rule that if someone dies in an act of war, that is a tragedy, but you have to take that up with God, the country responsible, or no one. But here is how stupid people think: America, is INDIRECTLY responsible for somebody's murdererous wishes, so I am going to sue an AIRLINER! Sorry, that is absolutely stupid. Airport security was poor, but how is this the fault of the airlines? American and United are not the guys behind airline security. Furthermore, if a terrorist stole your car and ran over your kid, would you sue Chrysler? Of course not, the whole thing makes no sense whatsoever. No one deserved money, whether it was a mercy payout or because the airlines were indirectly liable for anything. The truth is that it was an act of war and we are not going to go about paying the families of people dying in Iraq or anything else. The airlines did not cause the September Eleventh attacks! So, what if people sued? Why not make it ILLEGAL to sue over the September 11th attacks? The cases should all be thrown out of court under the arguments that the lawyers would have to concoct. However, the American people are stupid. "The families" attained an almost mythic status in our society. They wanted money, they get it They think something is insensitive, everyone stops until they are not offended. They demand that "the footprints", aka "perfectly good building foundation", be left as hollow graves, they got it. The American people let their will be imposed upon them. Where do these people get off? How is it that their loss is any greater than anyone else who has lost a loved one? If I die in my dormitory, should the room be left empty so my family could be happy? That is ridiculous, quite simply, the families do not own the land and deserve no say in what the owners of the land would want to build. A memorial is fine, but a flat out waste of space is not. It is prime real estate in the middle of Manhattan Three years ago I told people that after ten years people would have no fear being in the 100th floor of a high rise. They said I was crazy...after three years, if the price is right, I see no one scared of anything like that. So in my opinion, "the families", pretty much a media myth that comprised of a maybe several loudmouth and opinionated families that does not represent everyone, should shut up. And though this does no good, it is about time we condemn these people for what they are: money hungry and selfish. This might be the most extreme example in existence, but it is true. On the Howard Stern Show, a crazy crackwhore who was married to a rich guy who died in one of the Twin Towers, got millions upon millions in a payout (though she was left a lot of money anyway), and she spends all the money smoking crack and on a gigalo. She has sex in front of her kids, allows her boyfriend to walk around naked, smokes crack with one of her kids, and has a past of robbing ATM machines. In plain english, it is a damn shame one penny went to this bitch. Death is something terrible and so is war, but these things are a part of life. We cannot start paying people off merely for having a more public death than others. If you do not agree with me, I demand you to protest for 427 square miles of land around the point I died to be left empty so my family can properly mourn... But that is ridiculous, right? http://www.xanga.com/craigramblings
