''Why do we hate them?''
2002-09-11
Damien Penny suggests Salon go to hell for its stoopid and tactless "Forbidden thoughts about 9/11: the readers respond". A couple examples:
I knew a guy who narrowly escaped getting hit by a falling body. The first e-mail he sent out, two hours later, was, "Hey, how do we get ahold of all the new 212 cell numbers that'll be available?"

As shocked as I was, I felt that this was not my problem as a black person. The people who worked at the World Trade Center were mostly white men, and so they had nothing to do with me as a black woman.

The people on Flight 93 were not goddamn "heroes" or "warriors," they were passengers on the wrong plane. If I have to hear about Todd Beamer and "Let's roll" one more time I am going to puke.
Damien's comment:
I'd have to question the wisdom of publishing this sort of thing under any circumstances; not that Salon has no right to do so, but common courtesy dictates that some things are simply better left unsaid. But my God, publishing this ON THE FREAKING ANNIVERSARY OF 9/11?!?

Go bankrupt. Please.
And do it soon. Just further confirmation that fully half the people you meet in this world are below average.

#1  No class. I'm going to have to find a new newswire to visit daily. Other than Heather H, their paid content is drivel.

Forbidden thoughts? I have had poops with better judgement than Salon.
