Remembering It, Not Dwelling On It

You know what pisses me off? Ground Zero. That’s right. Ground Zero pisses me off.

Seven years have passed and you know what we have over there now? NOTHING. Not. A. Thing. Nada. Zilch. For seven years, people have been fighting about what they should do with that space, what kind of structure should be built, what it should look like, what percentage should be dedicated to memorial, whose name should go first on the memorial, where the memorial should be, and the list goes on and on.

Seriously, people. Why aren’t we just rebuilding the Twin Towers as they were just as Donald Trump suggested, maybe a little taller and a little more structurally sound? Isn’t THAT the only way to stick it to the terrorists that says up yours, cocksuckers?

I’m sorry. I’m really sorry for those whose family members passed away in that tragic terrorist attack. I really am. But come on. What’s with this approving the building plans and all kinds of bull shit? If there were a suicide bomb exploding a busload of people in the middle of a highway, should we make a memorial there and move the highway? What IS this nonsense?

We should remember. We should never forget. But for cripe’s sake, stop dwelling on it. A fine piece of prime real estate like Ground Zero? What’s with all this outcry about not enough dedicated to memorial, the disrespectful design, etc, etc, etc? Isn’t that giving in? Isn’t that what they wanted? Dwelling on it and not being able to move on? Why isn’t a memorial wall like Vietnam Veterans Memorial on the side of or inside the building enough? Why does anything need to be approved by the families of the victims in the first place?

As far as I’m concerned, we are losing the war against terrorists and I’m not talking about Bush’s wars. The terrorists are winning. It changed this country to a police state. People are paranoid. People are suspicious of others. And most of all, people can’t move on. People don’t have the guts to say, “Hey guess what, assholes. Remember those Twin Towers you thought you destroyed? They are going right back up, bitches!”

Seven years. Just a hole in the ground. A very fine piece of prime real estate. It pisses me off.
