twirlgrrlHey, so it's 9/11. I have vivid memories of that morning, but what I'm remembering right now is that weirdness afterwards, that whole thing where they tried to tell us if we stop shopping the terrorists won. Remember those special plastic shopping bags the stores had, with the flag on them? What did they say on them? SHOP AMERICA? That response, for me, just summmed up what is wrong with our culture. I know it was about the economy--or at least I think that's what it was about--but to me, linking the hijacking tragedies with commerce was the most cynical, disgusting, gauche thing I could imagine.
