As it approaches, what are your thoughts of "Patriot Day"?

Question

It is not a holiday. We do not get the day off. American businesses can't compete globally because of entirely different reasons.

Answer 1

I can't see how you can sit here and call those 19 hijackers "Patriots" - -

Answer 2

I think we should celebrate by lighting up the skies of the middle east.

Answer 3

i imagine you're referring to 9/11. personally i think that most of the media circus surrounding the anniversary is cheesy and exploitative of personal tragedies. i don't think i know a single person who wants to watch any more footage of the planes going into the towers or the towers coming down. it is emotionally manipulative and painful. i think that a moment of silence and a reflection on the way that event has shaped american politics and foreign policy would be more useful and respectful than the neverending tugging of the sentimental strings.

Answer 4

That my wedding anniversary is on 9/11...and I am very sorry all those people died on that day...

Answer 5

ANOTHER day off?!?

No wonder Americann workers are having trouble competing in the global marketplace!!!!
