I’m trying to be openminded here and assume that for some people, this might actually be a way of taking the hell of 9/11 and trying to make a positive out of it. However, it makes me feel sick to my stomach.
The whole concept of 9/11 being “honored” by an overproduced parade and some cheesy country music is just so, so wrong. And of course since BushCo is involved, it’s not even that. It’s simply yet another pathetic attempt to milk 9/11 and boost support for their war machine. Just look at the title of the event: the “America Supports You Freedom Walk”. Ugh. And it gets better:
The goal for next year’s walk is to get each state to host its own Freedom Walk to provide an opportunity for as many citizens as possible to reflect on the importance of freedom.
Give me a freaking break! I can ‘reflect on freedom’ any time I want. I don’t need to be reminded by the Pentagon to do it. And certainly not by some faux event like this.
