There is no doubt we all remember what we were doing on this day, My Judy and I were at Stillwater Resort on Indian Point at Tablerock Lake. We were celebrating our wedding anniversary. We had the Today Show on and they were live covering the "horrible accident" of an airliner crashing into one of the Twin Towers. We watched in awe as the second plane hit the remaining tower. I first wondered if there was something wrong with the Air Controllers, had one of them gone berserk and started guiding planes into buildings? It was some time after the crash in Pennsylvania that it became apparent that we had been attacked by terrorists.
Our reactions were across the board, first there was sadness for the families, then anger against the attackers. Then frustration as we the strongest nation in the world just sat back and did not annihilate every terrorist camp we knew was in existence.

Later that day we were with others at Silver Dollar City, there was a sense of loss and everyone was talking about it. Judy noticed that there were no planes flying and the quiet was almost deafening.

When I think back I am still mad. Not at Muslims in general, just those that are fanatics. I have never done anything to any of them so why should they decide to take it out on me? I don't care how they worship the god they worship, or how they live the life they live. However if they are insistent on going to meet Allah and play with a bunch of underage girls then I say, send them on their way, use what ever means necessary to get them there, do it with force and extreme prejudice.

Well I could get really rolling on a soap box over this, it would not do me any good and you folks that follow my blog may lower your opinion of me as a result. What I will say is that World Peace cannot be achieved as long as knuckleheads are in positions of power and they have no reason to listen. My Grandpa Jack, worked horses and mules all of his life. He could make one of them critters just about do anything. However, he always said, get their attention, once you have their attention they will listen."

I ask that today you remember the ones that we lost on this day and the days since. If you see a soldier say thankyou. Be thankful there are men that will run into an emergency instead of away from it as well as pray for your policemen/deputy sheriff's, for they are your first line of defense aganst the kind of people that caused 9/11.

May God bless us as a people, and may he bless the United States of America.
