"Would it not be easier
In that case for the government
To dissolve the people
And elect another?"
Berthold Brecht, I believe.
"It is interesting that so many people think they have to say something about the events of September 11 and afterwards that involves _them_ and _their perspective._"
That's because so many people were directly touched by the events of that day. Tens of millions would not be an unreasonable number, from people who suddenly found themselves stranded in strange parts of the country (or the world, for that matter) to those who had businesses wrecked, from those who had to walk home that day, to those guys who drove like bandits to get there and help dig out, to those who maxed out their credit cards that night buying relief supplies and driving them to the staging areas.
This isn't like the Kennedy assassination, which most of the world saw on TV-- it was not a direct impact on their day-to-day lives.
Well, this should make Ann happy:
