I don't think I even want to know how they are "teaching" that.... No doubt using it as a way to get the kids to dance around the flag and take it in the rear from the government at any time and for any reason and without question.
The biggest damage done to America wasn't on 9/11, it was on the changes made to America after that date, the "terrorists" won, they got the US to burn its own constitution and change their way of life based on the actions of a few idiotic religious nut jobs.
So true, So true. I know my parents said the same.... And just for those of you that would love to hear this.... I wasn't even BORN YET.
As Canadians or living in Canada we have little understanding of the mindset south of 49. I spent a lot of time down there doing union business and I must say there was not a day that went by that 9/11 was not mentioned and mentioned numerous times in one day. We have no idea of the underlying hysteria, as non americans, that exists. It scared them deeply and as Canadians we have little understanding how deep patriotism runs down there. Canada does not give us a frame of reference to judge their reaction.
