I'm done too, and well, it's all fine I suppose. IDK. I will say my mom and older brother were born on September 11th. I am terrible with birthdays but it has increased the number of times I have NOT forgotten their birthday 100%. I don't really know how they feel about it.
The husband had an aunt in one of the buildings and he deals with it stoically other than going to a meeting the day of, and exploding at the people who were on the "trauma" bandwagon who had not actually lost someone. You know. That can get irritating in a lot of ways I guess.
My brother's best friend's dad was on the plane. His dad was very, very wealthy. He lives in Tucson and he makes musical instruments for fun but he also developed some very strange, autoimmune type undiagnosable stomach thing where eating most foods causes him unbelievable pain. I think it was harder-- he was an only child, his parents were the "madly in love type" and then his dad up and left for an affair, etc. That type of stuff is difficult when you don't have time to work it out, etc. I'm fairly certain he'd rather be healthy.
One thing is for sure: there will be NO yearly specials on the day "the government killed
vaping" I doubt it will even be mentioned on the news. Etc.
Even Muslims get to have nicotine without breaking any religious laws to the best of my knowledge...
You know, this is actually (IMHO) an act of
internal terrorism. If you really stop and think about how many people will die who did not have to, simply because everyone had to have their tax.
I view internal acts of terrorism as kind of worse, as it is people turning on our OWN people.
Tax those on the KETO diet, tax those drinking soda, just SPREAD out the harm reduction tax if you gotta. But no. That would just be too fair.
