9/11 doesn't really mean much to me anymore. more people die in traffic accidents. Yes true, those are accidents and not intentional acts of violence. A better comparison would be to compare the yearly homicade rate of major american cities.

No one is truelly safe. It's just a fact we have to deal with. Death could come in the next minute.

The media has made the world a smaller place. But in reality, New York city has nothing to do with where I live. It really shouldn't impact me in any way (but it did at the time for some reason). Yes I felt compassion for the victims. But I can only have so much compassion for those who I don't know. The news media has really hardened me to all the inhumanities in the world.

As I said, the world is a smaller place. 200 years ago, it would have taken weeks for this news to travel accross country. Would it have had the same impact? I don't think so.

It was some scary **** at the time. I could just imagine myself in that situation. Pretty bad. I just can't muster up the tears for it anymore.

Days of rememberence always seemed weird to me. What am I remembering? Like I'm going to casually forget an event such as this. What, do they think I'm stupid or something? I'm not so sure living in the past is a good thing.
