I agree Mr. Cohen but far more knowledgeable people write on these forums about the subjects you have suggested. I have been reading FD for years and rarely make commentary because I have little offer, and lots to learn. Generally someone will query the same question I have anyway so I watch and see how the thread goes.
We do have immense problems here and our frustrations with the lack of solutions being offered is hard to bear and I understand my topic was of such little importance in our world right now, but as you will see from the post following yours, another poster brought up the topic.
I also wondered why Google had neglected 9/11 and I then wrote to Google last Sunday. This morning received a reply. I felt it was ok to pass it along in hopes the original writer saw the topic.... I felt my little offering had no weight to it, that is why I didn't include it in the 9/11 thread which should be preserved for historical record.
Please do not judge me by what I write here, this isn't a doctorate class in government or political science or civics - and if it was, I would be writing even less - I am here to learn not to be derided for asking questions or writing opinions - even if they are ineffectual in your lofty world.
We all have our place in society to the degree which we can enrich others in diverse ways. I am comfortable with my personal contributions and rarely have reason to rant - even on unimportant topics.
Point taken. Please accept my apology.
