WTC Memorial and GIFT SHOP!

   For those of you who know me (and to those who have yet to know me) 9/11 has caused me problems. It has set me over the edge.  For ther past 10 years I have not been able to go to the WTC site.  I would break down and cry (Marine that I am) everytime I would think about the people that perished that day.

   Today, Christmas Day 2011, 10 years after, I was able to finally pay my respects in person.  I did have a weepy moment, and I did get emotional.  But the anger i felt, I did not expect. At the end of the Memorial, after seeing name after name, some saying "...and unborn child". After seeing the hole where those 2 building were.  The hole that was left with all of us. That is where the gift shop is. You can buy pins, tshirts, hats and more.

   Over 3000 people died so that you can get a tshirt saying "I went to the 9/11 Memorial and all I got was this crummy tshirt."

Police and Abuse of Power

How many people out there have gotten a police written ticket?  If you haven't recieved a ticket, do you know of anyone who has gotten a police written ticket? I'll bet it is in the millions. Now how many of those tickets do you think were NOT fare? I'll bet that number is in the millions also.

Isn't it time that we all looked at this practice of ticketing people? My first complaint is that the Police, Town Attorney, and Judge of the ticket authority all work in the same building (I have yet to see this as an exception). Second complaint, is that I am paying each and everyone of those officials salary. Considering all this, is any ticket fare? Can an individual get a fail hearing in Municipal Court?

Where is Christmas? Where are those who profess to walk with God?

God has found me and guided me. I am far from perfect, but I try to act in Gods name. I don't steal, I don't cheat, I don't lie. I try my best to help my fellow man. Today, I am working on my ex-wifes car (even though I know that she speaks ill of me, all the time).  When I have extra food, or extra of anything, I give it away. I have very little of my own to begin with, but I give tons of stuff away.

I know that when my time comes, I will be rewarded. I know I will be taken care of by God. My problem is not with me! My problem is with my fellow man and what he/she are missing now.

I know people who go to church EVERY Sunday without fail. They will listen to the sermons and proclaim their love for Jesus Christ and for God. And the other 167 hours in the week they will lie, cheat, and do things to hurt their fellow man. If we all gave, then everyone could also receive. They would receive the warm and wonderful feeling that one gets from giving.

That is something you will never find under a Christmas Tree.  God Bless us, everyone.
