Absolutely, worth repeating.
And quite frankly, all these "vigils" (not just for VT) are worthless. Libs are great at them... crawl out, show "support", crawl back.

Don’t more than a handful of freepers maintain an ongoing vigil of support for the troops, in Olney MD. The News/Activism sidebar shows a handful of them. I don’t recall you posting your thoughts on any of those threads.
I think it would be better if we simply recognized that there is a difference between showing support and “becoming one with the victims”.
Just a thought.
Not for those involved. I never like to see schools hire all these psychologists and "grief councilors" to come in and bug people at these times. But I think that these "worthless vigils" as you call them give these kids something to keep them busy while they are still in shock. I think they're a great deal more healthy than visiting the hired grief people. I've always thought that during these awful periods, talking to beloved friends and family does a lot more than unknown, temporary and paid "professionals." And vigils keeps them busy, planning and interacting with others which in the long run is a much better way to deal with grief.
Read the entire article and you see how vile it really is.

Hmmm, I didn’t personally know anybody who died on 9/11. I guess I was wrong to go to vigils for that?
