Don't know about the rest of you, but I am NOT going to watch any
made-for-tv movies or specials regarding "9/11".

Just don't want to do it.

1. I think a certain amount of healing is good (and way late because Bush
Edited on Thu Sep-08-05 06:21 PM by applegrove
the Asshole wanted to exploit the fear of 9/11 - not assuage it).

The movie on that flight filled with heroes - the ones who took over the plane..will be a good moment for us all to come together and think about the amazing heroes on that day. So many gave their lives. And that we are safe. So we can tell Bush to shut up about 9/11 and focus on the things that are falling apart.

What would you do instead? Go to the parade in Washington? It seems Rummy doesn't want people watching a documentary either.

7. Um - terrorist were shut down. Bush just kept the fear going so he
could pass his agenda & be at war. We focussed on the things that would only save a few lives and not on things right in front of our noses. You know... Levees.

That is what I mean by safe. We should heal as people and come together and watch a documentary about real heroes on that day.

Americans can have a chance to see it all-together. It is so rare these days to have a shared experience. Even if you don't quite believe the people saved the plane, and you don't believe the widows - you can watch & see.

I think it is really only Rummy & that gang who really do not want Americans to see that show. You know..they like to keep all of Americans separate and afraid of different things.

You could watch his concert on the T.V. instead. That is what the freepers are supposed to do.

11. Really? Were they?
Bin Laden has a new single out, have you heard it?

Americans are being killed in Afghanistan every day.

Also in Iraq...which had nothing to do with any of it

Watching some movie won't 'heal' anything.

I saw the original...

Fix the problem. Not the symptoms. Or the vid.

13. Do you want Bush to have "fear in his bank account"? Or do you
want some healing so that we can take a better look at all the legislation and the WAr?

I know what Rummy wants. That is why he did "alternative programming" most likely.

15. I don't need to be 'healed'
Foreign policy does.

So does Iraq.

20. By coming together and healing from some of the fear. Re-newing
our commitment to those who saved many lives (and WH or Capitol ones at that).

Okay - I see your point.:rofl:

Seriously - we need to get together and be a human family at least once. Then we can work together better. To defeat all that you say needs to be defeated.

The Pentagon does not want any healing. Likely why they planned the concert.

Defy them. Watch the T.V. and renew your commitment to your greater community.

6. I just can't. I am not ready yet to become emotionally close to that
subject again. Especially with all the political fallout since the tragedies.

Just can't do it - wouldn't be prudent. (For me, anyway).

8. I say again. It might heal. A story about real Americans you stood up
on that day. Perhaps you should wait until you get reviews from people at the DU.

The only people who gain from us all stuck in our separate little "pods" of fear are the neocons.

I certainly will watch. And I will be crying my ass off. And I'm not even American.

14. Then you don't watch. But don't tell others to stand down in the one
moment they may get to share with other Americans. It happens so rarely.

10. it's not true...
the pigmedia created the nonsense about flight 93 and 'let's roll' etc....as deceit, even if it glorifies unfortunate passengers etc, it oppresses the true story of what happend on sept 11th, and why 911 was just a part of the nov7th/00 and dec 12/00 scheme- iow the illegal assumption of power by fraudulent gangsters working with the pigmedia to create illusions....this completely destroys any idea that the pig production glorying the 'heroes' of flight 93 is ok....the very blood of the victims who were lost on 911 cries out to tell the pigmedia to 'go to hell'
the simple fact bush wasn't elected in 2000 (that automatically negates everything bush has done since, including the '04 election) dwarfs 911 in terms of changing the USA....most americans know bush wasn't elected in '00 yet...yet they pretend they think 911 was a genuine incident, or rather the pigmedia pretends the people think 911 was genuine

21. Don't feel threatened. You can get many facts from the doc you didn't
have before. If you are an adult - they will not threaten you. Plus you will not end up in fights all day long.

3. I might watch Oliver Stone's 9/11 Pic...
His stuff is usually uplifting and pays great respect to tragedies.

16. You could watch the Pentagon's programming for that night instead.
Country music. A Parade.
