On this 10th anniversary of 9/11, wtmusic will not be observing anything. |

I'm mystified why anyone would choose to honor, or reflect, or celebrate, or observe the 10th anniversary of this horrible tragedy with one exception: those who were personally involved.
Watching TV reruns has no motive which isn't prurient and macabre. If you want to honor the 411 emergency workers who died then fine - also observe the same number who die on the job every two years in the US.
However, the media-generated hoopla around it has led to hundreds of thousands of deaths worldwide, and goddammit I'm not buying in.
