Though this may be painful to those who lost people, I think overall, it's a good thing.
This country moved on way too easily. We don't see it as much, because we were surrounded by it every day. Not just on the news, but EVERYWHERE.
We may still be paranoid about our city, but the rest of the country moved on, and this may be a good wake-up call. They shouldn't forget. And anyone here who forgot, needs it too.
I was in the city on the 11th...... on the 12th, I was at my company's (at the time) office in Lakewood, NJ. 75 miles or so out of the city. And no lie, it was <b>BUSINESS AS USUAL</b>. All I wanted to do was discuss what I had seen, still trying to make sense of it all in my head..... not a single person gave a shit. It was over. They were done. It made me sick.
