Wake me up when September ends...
Seriously, because I can not take another year of "Remember 9/11". I honestly dread that phrase and the people that bring it up. Let me know when a group rises up with the motto "Forget 9/11" or "It is time to show respect and move on" and I will for sure be there. I am glad that it is a Sunday tomorrow. That means I can lock myself in my apartment and pretend it is not still occurring beyond my door...until rehearsal. I really hope no one brings it up at rehearsal. I think the deeper meaning behind why I feel this way is because of all the "false" patriotism that it spreads. They call it patriotism but for most of them it is just a sense that arose for their apparent need for vengeance and self-justification at the expense of lives other than their own. If you can not tell, this day is one of my annual angry/annoyed days and will be until people put history in the history books and leave it there. I almost totally forgot about it until I saw my Facebook News feed being assaulted with their "I was at [blah blah blah] when [blah blah blah] happened."

I like to think of it as National Who Cares About the 4th Amendment day.
ReplyDeleteI like how it says that "The Supreme Court has also ruled that certain searches and seizures violated the Fourth Amendment even when a warrant was properly granted."
ReplyDeleteWhat said that? I haven't heard that before.
