1. The artistic wonder of the collapse of the Twin Towers shown a
billion times or more either in still or moving image.
2. The periodic voice tapes of the kingpins of terrorism that pop out
of nowhere and make their way to your televisions.
3. I think Michael Moore's next film should be called "Lawrence Helms
Saves America" and it should last 24 hours and no one should be allowed
to leave the theatre until it's over. And there will be 15 minute
breaks every 8 hours during which time a man will stand on the stage
with placards that read "Liberal Terrorist Lover" and "Marxist America
Hater" and "Godless Civilian Who Doesn't Believe In The War On Terror."
Each time the man on stage holds up one of the placards, the film goers
will shout whatever the placard says at the top of their lungs and then
congratulate each other for their foresight whilst comparing their
notes. And the funny thing is, the 24 hour film they are watching will
only be of Michael Moore filming the movie goers as they scream at the
top of their lungs the slogans on the placards.
4. Shortly before the second anniversary of 9/11 I left NYC and moved
to England. I still miss Mexican food. I will always blame the
terrorists for depriving me of Mexican food.
5. If it hadn't of been for 9/11, I'd venture to say there never would
have been a moment in my life when I would be in a rural cafe for
breakfast just outside of Saratoga Springs to find a menu serving
"freedom fries" and "freedom toast". Really, if it weren't for 9/11
that kind of comedic talent might have been wasted.
PS - L. Helms, don't take it too seriously, it's meant in fun. I don't
want to get shot or anything...
