I was directed over to a discussion where everyone was whining about their tv being interrupted by 9/11 specials and how they weren’t going to watch because it was all btdt, 10 years ago, move along. These were grown people with families who should be a bit wiser. Disgusting.
Somehow, I cannot imagine people who lived through Pearl Harbor complaining because their favorite 1951 radio program was interrupted for a 10th anniversary remembrance. Perhaps that’s an index of how the threads of our culture have been pulled apart in the last couple of generations.
Some people just want to forget a terrible tragedy.
