I will never, ever forget the feeling of utter shock and despair watching the news that day from 10,000 miles away. Never before had people witnessed such a thing live on TV. The day cemented my love of America and Americans.
You felt "utter shock and despair" while watching planes fly into buildings? I was in high school at the time and all I felt (secretly) was excitement. This shit was unreal. But of course I could never say it in public as people would think I was crazy. The next day I got over it. Never understood all the hokey-dokey sentimentalism surrounding this event. I mean there's a goddamn gift shop at Ground Zero, I kid you not. What a joke.
I normally enjoy your posts, but if you really felt excitement at seeing thousands of people die needlessly in real time then as far as I'm concerned there is something seriously wrong with you Sir.
That's just not normal.
