Instead, we follow morons on misguided "crusades" mostly designed to earn money for the military-industrial complex. Americans are sheep, & follow whichever leader pops out of the manure. Right now GW Bush is the fearless leader, but let's hope a better leader is chosen in November.

It's also the day the Boston Marathon is run and a local holiday, where all schools and most businesses have the day off. Guess Bush, going to high school in Massachusetts (Phillips Andover) clearly had never heard of it. http://www.bostonmarathon.org/BostonMarathon/ PatriotsDay.asp Funny, in Massachusetts "Patriots' Day," celebrated on the third Monday of April, is to remember the beginning of the Revolutionary War.

I am still terribly disturbed and moved the week upto the 9/11 anniversary. I didn't schedule anything on my calendar just in case I felt I couldn't keep up a cheery facade at work. I just want somewhere to go to stand shoulder to shoulder with other Washingtonians who will "never forget". It's been only 7 years and I am appalled that the only event on the 9/11 website in MD is sponsored by the Red Knights motorcycle club and it's being held in Ocean City. Come on??!!!
