The reason why i am sick of hearing about it is not because americans died or because they were american or because it is all over the news and it is not because im not senstive to the issue.
i don't care anymore because it seems like we learned nothing from that day. When that happened i was a senior in highschool and one of the things i remember thinking and talking about to people was how i hoped people would begin to appreciate the value of ALL life be it afgan, american or even a completely different species, at first it seemed like people began to care about human life , but it quickly faded.
People talk about starving children in third world countries, after 9/11 there are still people starving in first world countries including both canada and america....i find this unacceptable. Thats why i don't about 9/11 anymore. The homeless people in toronto are completely ignored by people passing by. Not only do they lack material possesions but they have been striped of all dignity, no one even acknoledges that they are there, that is untill its too late. All i know is that winter is coming up and i hope they can get to some shelters.
Just imagine what could be done if money was taken from the military and placed into health care, education and shelters.
This brings me to another hing that isn't related to 9/11 but i should say this here and now as there might not be another opportunity. Why do we put so much money into space programs? don;t get me wrong here i'm all for exploration and all but we have way to many problems here on earth to go spending billions of dollars to go to the moon and back. I'm not to sure about this but i don't even think that we have explored the deepest part of the ocean yet. It's almost like running before you can walk.
but then again the idea of fuel cells did come from space programs as well as other devices.
Thanks for reading my post and sorry if i have been rambling on too long. Think of it as practicing your reading skills
