National day of mourning, yes, holiday NO. Turn any day into a holiday and it loses its meaning--most idiots just care about getting a day off from fucking school or from their miserable jobs. And just as we do on Memorial Day, we could perform all this reflecting and remembering while lying on our backs at the beach. Idiot #1: "Hey Idiot #2, are you doing anything on Sept. 11 to remember the tragedy?" Idiot #2: "Yes, I'm going to the beach. There's no better place really. The splashing of water will remind me of the brave firefighters, the shark warnings will remind me of the evil terrorists, and the bikini-clad women lying on the sand will remind me of the twin towers." Yes, if Sept. 11 becomes a holiday, the beaches would be packed with people, some of them so patriotic, their thongs would be red, white and blue. If nothing else, they'd have another reason to get sunburned.
