I hate 9/11

9/11 has become an unofficial holiday/day of mourning, which is stupid because we don’t usually mourn for the deaths of people in other mass death tragedy scenarios. We probably won’t really care to have a tsunami remembrance day even though the death toll racked up to more than 100 times that of the fatalities in the Twin Towers. Who cares about the anniversary of hurricane Katrina? Meanwhile the attacks on the World Trade Center spurred wars that indirectly led to the killing of some 40,000 innocent Iraqis. I’m willing to bet that the majority of Americans don’t know what we celebrate Memorial Day for. Some may argue that we will remember the 9/11 attacks because they were major acts of terrorism, but what about the Oklahoma bombings? Who the hell remembers the date of that attack? No one holds candle light vigils every year for the people who died then. Give it a decade, maybe two, and this whole 9/11 thing will blow over. Then people will be like, “what’s so important about September 11 then?
