Some Things to Think About on 9/11/9

Taken from Brooklyn, September 11, 2008.

Firstly, we still don't have bin Laden. Two wars, over a trillion dollars, countless dead and eight years later, we STILL haven't caught the guy the USG says was behind the 911 attacks.

Secondly, the FBI has YET to update bin Laden's "FBI's Most Wanted" page to reflect his suspicion in the attacks of eight years ago today.

Thirdly, we still have combat troops in both Iraq and Afghanistan where democracy has yet to take hold (let's be honest, folks).

Fourth, we still have huge problems at home , the failing economy, high-priced health care, cancer and climate change all seem like bigger threats to our lives than terrorism could ever be, yet we still spend an awful lot on the military in both money and men.

Some other things to consider:

My attack on People Magazine featuring scans of People's 911 memorial issue which included print ads for things like Tide clothing detergent, V-8, and life insurance, opposite pictures of survivors being rescued from the rubble of the Twin Towers. Yeah, class act. Nice to see corporations have changed a lot since then--oh wait--they haven't. SIGH...
