Should Large Scale 9/11 Observances Be Scaled Back?
That was a poll question on CNN.com. I voted NO, if you vote, I hope you vote the same way.
The current results:
Now, you have nearly 3000 people that died on 9/11. Each family could have their own service, but it just makes sense to have an organized observance. The victims died a horrific death and the families should be able to mourn any way they wish. The media are the ones broadcasting it to the world. If it wasn't for them, most people wouldn't know there was an observance being held.
I can only think of two reasons right now why someone would want to scale back the observances.
1. None of their family died on 9/11, therefore couldn't care less about them.
2. They are liberals and feel these observances help Republicans who are tough on national security.
Either one is selfish. The only people that should be polled are the families of victims. Everyone else doesn't matter.
