23. Actually, they died with more civil rights than we have now
Edited on Tue Feb-07-06 01:51 AM by Solly Mack
so one can truthfully say they died more free than Americans are today. Sort of the last "free" Americans.

So I guess that means they died for nothing - since rights and freedoms were eroded and government blames that on the events of September 11, 2001. The actions of the government suggest those people died in vain - and for nothing.(well, except for a power grab - they did come from their deaths - so we can conclude the government used those deaths to abuse power)

So really, government is making a mockery of those who died that day. And each and every single time government uses those deaths to justify the abuses of power, the bigger the mockery grows.

America dishonors those who died by eroding civil rights and liberties.
