I kno were all sick of hearing about this bull. but i really want to hear ppl's opinions on the issue.

Do you think September 11th Should be made a national holiday (meaning no work, skool, etc.)

I don't think it should for these reasons...

1. over time the true meaning of the event will be lost... such as Memorial day... i think its absurd to have a BBQ on a day the honors the people who died for our country... groups are proposing calling 9/11 "Patriot Day" No Disrespect... this even was horrible, awful, a terrible tragidy... but... the ppl who died the day in the WTC and on the Planes ARE NO HEROS!!!! they died going to work, or working in their office building... THAT DOESN'T QUALIFY AS HEROISM... my gradpa died having a heart attavk at work a few years ago... he's not a hero for that,

2. i think the firefighters are honored in memorial day we do not need to make 9/11 a holiday that in 10 years ppl will be saying "YES NO SKOOL CUZ OF PATRIOT DAY!!!" that sickens me, just the thought my children one day may be glad to see 9/11 come...

I would have no objection to a few moments of silence... but i definatly disagree with having it be a national holiday..

Whats You Opinion?... i really want to kno!!!
