So let me tell you something about 9/11. On 9/11, at around a time, I was sitting in Math class. And the news was on and blah blah blah and suddenly one of the teachers runs in from another room and says "Is the news on? Are they watching it? This is the biggest thing that will ever happen in their lifetime."
I was, let me see, 15? Something like that. Here was a man, saying that in the next 70 or so years nothing more important than 9/11 will ever happen. I could chalk it up to the heat of the moment, except that whenever the last 9/11 was, 2 or 3 days ago, someone said the exact same thing, "9/11 is the most important thing that will happen in the lifetime of our children."
I still cannot fathom this statement. We could cure death in the next 80 years. We could end all disease, hunger, misery, poverty, foxnews, processed cheese, and crust on sandwiches, and 9/11 would still be more important.
9/11 is that important to these people. It all makes sense to me now.
