I've no problem honoring those we've lost, and the intangible things we've lost, like bits of freedom, privacy and the feeling of safety within our own borders. However, if I choose not to watch what the media spoon feeds me, so be it. I'll pay homage in my own way.Rudeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17889298704039071473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4182537822027964947.post-90690650134824030032011-09-10T20:57:57.433-04:002011-09-10T20:57:57.433-04:00I agree that we should never forget, and I don’t t...I agree that we should never forget, and I don’t think any adult will forget it. I don’t dislike the memorials, I just am weary of the media that doesn’t let go of a story when it seems they have nothing new to add. That statement would apply to the possibility of another attack rather than a memorial. They’ve picked up chatter. They believe there are 4 people involved but they don’t know who or where they are. To keep repeating this is not news in my opinion and only serves to worry and agitate people. <br /><br />I often think the media at large is disappointed when there is a disaster, be it natural (weather) or man made after they’ve hyped things up. Meanwhile, what does this do to some of the viewers? It is the boy who cried wolf story in the 21st century. We hear and see it so much, we become desensitized to the possible severity of what is being discussed. <br /><br />I shouldn't judge a memorial without seeing it, but based on every local channel having their say right up to network TV, I have a feeling that a driving force is going to be ratings over substance. The few that I know who were directly affected prefer private remembrances on this date. Perhaps they are the minority. It is undoubtedly something we all feel and vividly remember.<br /><br />A peaceful day tomorrow will be a loving tribute.Knittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10194307677813885580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4182537822027964947.post-7993769365018137532011-09-10T19:13:01.869-04:002011-09-10T19:13:01.869-04:00Your grandson is adorable!

It actually made me feel better to read it because someone was feeling the same as I was...that is sad, eh? Idk about 9-11...I think I just HATE being sad and that is why I can't stand to watch all of that stuff. I mean, let's be honest, none of us want to sit here and think we could've ended up in the chaos, our loved ones could've died or even that this could happen again. So, I won't EVER forget that it happened and neither will you, I am sure. But, is all the coverage really a tribute? What IS a tribute anymore. Are the constant reminders worth it? Because really, who could ever forget it. I wonder what the families that lost people think about the coverage....or even anyone affected..

When tornadoes or high winds are 30 miles away, one gal starts saying, "get in your safe place" but most folks can't hear the TV from their safe place! Of course, "the power may go out and then everyone needs a weather radio". <br />As Blondie mentioned, I seem to be avoiding the 9/11 reminders. Our younger daughter lives only 6 blocks from the Capitol, in DC, now. My niece lives in Manhattan, NY and had to fly back into LaGuardia yesterday. I just held my breath until my SIL said that she got there ok. My TV is off today or on the USA channel for NCIS!

Those images followed me to Las Vegas a few weeks later and I was having panic attacks in my 28th floor room. Not good. <br /><br />SO, I'm with you, I am going to focus on the happiness in my life while saying prayers for the fallen.<br /><br />XO,<br />JaneBlondie's Journalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12988377413260331618noreply@blogger.com
