growl

James Lileks uses a pit bull/bone analogy to describe my obsession with 9/11 and I take it as a compliment.

I am never giving up that bone. And I will not hesitate to rip the living flesh off the person who tries to make me put it down.

Somewhere inside of me is not only the heart of a pit bull, but the soul of an Angry White Male.

Go ahead. Make my day.

This is why I read your site.

I've never really checked out metafilter before, for whatever reason.

Are the fora there always that full of shit?

My sentiments exactly. While much of the electronic media seem to want the whole thing to go away, it won't.

I also plan a commemoration of 9/11 and the loss of over 3000 innocents. I have to admit that it's been difficult to put it together for posting. There have been times while gathering the material I want to use that I've broken down and cried. The pain, grief, and anger haven't lessened in the two years since that horrible day. They are always there under the surface, waiting to come out into the open.

Do I want to give up these feelings? No.

Do I want to forget? Never.

Ever since 9/11, yes, yes, a thousand times yes. One asshole who goes by 'asok' and lives in the UK was posting about how we deserved it before all the bodies had cooled. And then had the guts to complain when people called him an asshole.

Haughey refuses to ban anyone for anything short of rabid racism, and even then people stand up for the bannee. (The most recent case was a banning over anti-Semitism, if that gives you any clue.) Hell, even an ignore list would be able to improve the S/N ratio a few dozen times.

It's a perfect example of how a 'self-policing' community utterly fails to work on anything but the most micro of levels.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

I'm past the point of giving a rat's ass why some people don't get it that we're still pissed about 9/11. Screw em.

The only ones who actually get under my skin anymore are the Americans who whine and moan and spew their self-loathing apologetics.

Making your day.

things go better
