Well, come back today and talk to people who were here on 9/11.
ah, the New Yorker's infamous solipcism.
some of us who do not ourselves live in NYC had friends in the towers.
some of us who do not ourselves live in NYC had friends who shuttled constantly by air between Logan and LAX (raises hand).
some of us who do not ourselves live in NYC had kin at the Pentagon (raises hand).
9/11 was an American event, pally. it ain't about Noo Yawk.
