The Obligatory 9/11 Post

Here it is!

Sorry, there was not much to learn from 9/11/2001. Here is what I think are the lessons:

1) The passengers on the planes should have watched "The Green Mile" where a sadistic killer "used their love for each other to kill them". Nobody on the planes (except for United 93, who had warning, a lot of warning) wanted to be the ones to challenge the threat of the "bombs" they had on the plane, for fear of being the one to set it off. Too bad, if they had, yes, we would have lost 300 people on the planes, but the towers and the Pentagon whould have been untouched.

2) Anybody can do anything if they are brazen enough. So either live in fear, or live.

3) NEVER, EVER, EVER, let the government use a crisis as a time to expand powers, create new organizations, etc.

OK, I've said it, enough of 9/11.
