"We will never forget!"

Well, yeah, how the hell CAN we forget when politicians and Americans worship the flag like it's Jesus Almighty take any chance they can to remind us what happened on 9/11!.  We've been dwelling on that incident like a motherfucker.  It's this weird, perverse somber, yet celebratory holiday.  Hooray we got attacked so we can show you just how fucking awesome we are by never forgetting and telling you, really loudly, how we'll never forget!  NEVER FORGET IT!

And we like those big round numbers and this year is number 10.  There will be specials, and specials about specials.  The flag waving and chest beating and poop flinging will be of epic proportions this year.  You won't be able to escape it.  Even if you turn your TV off and throw it away, undoubtedly your town will have some kind of iron bar worshiping, or American flag waving, or bell ringing, or Mosque re-decorating ceremony. 

Jeebus this shit is going to be everywhere.  It's already started.  And it's only fucking July 1st!

I may go to NYC for the memorial ceremony, but, yeah...at least I have a reason. Momentary patriotism can kiss my ass, otherwise.

Oh my fuck, it's religion. The steel from the WTC is a holy relic, people flock to it to see and be healed, they hang pictures of flags being raised atop the rubble as others would hang Jesus. They speak in hushed tones, sacred space, holy objects, not a one daring to speak out in heresy. To do so would be sacrilege.

And so they built a shrine building over the top to memmorialize for all time the events and it was never about the people, no, it was about the symbol and the magic that pours from it, a symbol of power and healing. And all reached in to touch, people started selling on the street corners, little pieces, bits of stone or metal, parts of the body of the great dashed martyr building...

The victims were forgotten as people as soon as Bush took to the rubble with his goddamn megaphone and started the chest-thumping.  Then they just became set-pieces for their propaganda.  And both sides of the aisle have gladly dropped trow, waded and traded in that filth.
