Entry	September 11, 2008 \| 911 - What if When I was 16 I went to the State Fair with my best friend Lisa, we parked at the Routh St. Womens clinic downtown within walking distance of the fair since it didn't cost us $5.00 and her mom worked there as a counselor. When we came out that evening we discovered the car has been broken into. My stereo and some personal items including a tape recorder and a couple hundred dollars in cash had been stolen. I remember not the loss of property but the feeling of violation. I was at home on Sept 11, 2001. I had a funeral to go to that day and had the news on when the first news reports of the devastation began to come in. The phone rang and my brother Robert and I were on the phone when the second plane hit. The same feelings of violation. I can only imagine the loss and immense feelings the families of those victims felt. But remember we were ALL victims. We all felt anger, felt that violation. I applaud George Bush for giving us back some retribution for 911. This will be a long battle and I hope that we never forget and we have the foresight to elect leaders that will act against these senseless acts of violence. What if we had different leadership. Someone who felt calm negotiation was the more pc response. Would I be wearing a cloth across my face?
