Hey diesel, I watched all your videos as I was curious and the one from 9/11 is the one that touched me. Before 9/11 I was just slugging along. That day I watched the sky as I walked in business after business and saw this unfold on TVS. Before 9/11 I didnt know what the World trade center was, as I had never been to NYC, had no desire to go where there was traffic, and too uninterested to understand what wall street was.
I saw the plane that eventually crashed into the pentagon, it did a big uey over my house, and over the town I was working in.
After that day I have my radio on every day. I learned alot from listening to talk radio, the daily show the colbert report, anything I could listen to I did.
When I saw that you posted that video, I cant understand why we are opposite ends in our views.
Toon, thx for sharing that tidbit....I was born and raised just north of NYC near the Hudson river in Westchester County. I was still a teenager when we moved to Fla in 1976.
Fond memories of visiting the city and all it has to offer. Empire State bldg, Statue of Liberty via The Ferry, Museums, Radio City Music Hall, MSG Arena, Manhatten's Wall Street and Central Park, Broadway Musicals, Yankee and Shea Stadiums, Coney Island Hot Dogs, Ny pizza and bagels, and most of all standing at the base of the World Trade centers and cranking my neck as far back as possible to get a peek as to how high these amazing new buildings stood.....Anyway, like yourself, I watched 9/11 unfold from one business stop to the other. It was like a state of shock. It didn't really hit me untill the aftermath, glued to the somber news coverage of family members and friends holding onto pictures of their loved ones looking, waiting, praying, walking around like zombies hoping for an impossible miracle. I cried for three days straight until I had to turn it off. My son hung a poster of the Twin Towers in my Den right below Dale Earnhardt memorial poster, but I had him hang the Twin Towers on top. That was the second tradegy that effected him that year and was hard to mentor his emotions. When tradegy strikes us, we band together like no other country in the world. We drop the labels and partisan politics when GWB spoke with the megaphone at ground zero.
All we wanted was blood and justice and Al Queda in Afgh, but when Bush put Ben Ladin on the back-burner and focused on Iraq, I felt betrayed, all bets were off....
But on the lobster thing, it made me laugh. I had a child psych class, and I brought in a lobster. When it was right side up, the kids would touch it and pet it and when I turned it upside down they all ran coz they were scared of the way it looked underneath.
So I guess, I see things from the way they look underneath. Barack looks real nice on first glance, but as you hear what hes about, it scares me.
{Everybody run, there's a lobster loose!}
Appearance is decieving, my advice, crack the shell and see what's happening on the inside. Biology trumps phsycology IMO...
good video.....hard to argue......Advisors or supporters???? Sounds like the military brass is doing the talking.....
