"Too few know anything about the man. Furthermore, I was in MI on 9/11/01. The feedback I got from the folks in The Heartland was, "Well, it's NY. Who cares?" Even the folks in the taverns where there were TVs showing the carnage, no one paid any attention; they just ordered another drink."
You must live in an alternate reality, everyone I know was in a daze for days, if not weeks afterwards. Our entire company shut down for the day, nobody could work, and the same was true of companies all over the country. My phone and my girlfriend's cell phones were ringing off the hook as everyone we know called us from all over the country. (She was from NYC, I have family there, everyone wanted to know if our families were okay - thankfully, they were all safe...)
And this so-called indifference you say was there is a slap and spit in the face of the enormous, mind-boggling outpouring of donations, volunteers, and help afterwards, people went to NYC from all over the country (and the world), for free, on their dime, to help find the victims in the rubble, they sent money, food, clothes, tools... how on EARTH did you miss that? I saw a response from everywhere in this country that will never be matched in it's generosity, it was a virtual flood.
I have no idea why you would post what you did. Perhaps you hang out in "taverns" with drunks who only care about their next drink, but the rest of us experienced a much different reality than you did. I can't think of anyone I know, including people I work with in every state (sales), who was'nt horrified, shocked, and reeling for weeks afterwards.
No need to be insulting. Relax. It was an observation of some people I OBSERVED on a project in Detroit.
I'll remind the two executives at Hayes Lemmerz that you are inferring that we are all drunks at lunch-time. BTW, I worked with people at Deloitte and Touche at Three Trade Center and lawyers in the WTC.
