9/11 isn't a day to see who can sell the most albums. 9/11 isn't just another day for anyone that is an American. It is a day on which we remember those who lost their lives in the horrid attack on our nation.

Sometimes, I think that we (myself included) take for granted the freedoms we have in this country. This isn't a time to reflect on the president, Congress, the upcoming campaign or even if Cheney shot someone else while hunting.

This is a time to think about the sacrifices people made for us to enjoy the freedom that we have. We have the right to free speech. We have the right to practice any religion we want whether we are Catholic, Mormon, Protestant, Buddhist, Atheist, Wiccan, Episcopalian, whatever. We have the right to bear arms. We have the right to speak our minds. We have so much prosperity and freedom in this country that we sometimes bitch about every.minor.thing. What about those that don't have the right to prove themselves innocent. What about women who are treated like second/third class citizens overseas. What about those that don't enjoy all that WE have here in the land of the free, home of the brave.

So, with that, please take a moment today and think about those that perished for our freedom. I know I will be.

(Also - many are keeping their headlights on while driving in memory of those in the 9/11 attacks. Jus' something to keep in mind.)
