All I can do for Christine Hanson is insist that the terrorist movement which killed her is hunted down and prevented from deliberately targeting any more two-year olds.

There's the message folks.

A woman of many affairs is deified while a potential Saint is ignored. Talk about the "madison avenue" approach to fame, this is it.

What does that tell you about society?

But 3,000 people died on Sept. 11, leaving a gaping hole in the lives of their children, parents, siblings and friends. Those of us who don't fall into those categories are not bereaved and, by pretending to be, we diminish the real pain of those who really feel it.

Very true. But this sentiment is about as popular as breaking wind in a stalled elevator.

This is modern America. Expressions of bereavement are now as lightly donned as any other fashionable item, but held in place by the firm glue of riteous indignation. To suggest one remove it is to invite the wrath we pretend we're saving for the terrorists.

Right on the mark (pun intended), as usual.

Outstanding! I was sick last 9/11, and grateful to have been at home. I could not have functioned at work.

I plan to stay home this year. Whether I watch TV will depend upon the coverage.

Christine Hanson, 2 Massachusetts

When I think about the fact that these pigs murdered this family and their supporters danced in the street to celebrate it, I don't need Dan Rather to tell me how to feel.

Every time some arab muslim gets his ugly mug in front of a camera and marginalizes the slaughter of innocents for his bloodthirsty religion, I know exactly how to regard the vermin.
