America is not NY. also if your saying the only reason there are other thoughts is because that person doesn't live in NY, then that really doesn't make sense looking at how the entire country has responded, been effected etc. There's people screaming to never forget who have never even been to NY.
I mean for the people who are always yelling to never forget, who do they think they're talking to? You would have to be semi-rarded and just out of a coma lasting years to have forgotton. Oh 9/11? Yea I forgot, could you remind me about what that whole thing was about lol...
The point is not remembering because you might actually forget, as in your brain will somehow erase the memory of 9/11 from its hard drive, no one is implying it like that. The point is to remember the lives lost, the tragedy, so that you'll always remember what led to it happening in the first place, so that hopefully you won't fall into patterns that lead to a repeat, so that you won't get so comfortable and become so naive that anyone could create a catastrophe like that again.
It's important to remember history, even history that isn't that old, it's important to know and understand the truth of that history. Living in the past, I think everyone would agree that's no way to live and as Americans, I don't think we're doing that but it is still very important to remember the reality of what happened...the mistakes of the past are always repeated when the past is forgotten.
That's how I see it.
