In a country that still has significant numbers of people "remembering their heritage" about the civil war, I know it'll realistically be never, but the sooner America and American's quit fetishizing 9/11, the better. Don't get me wrong, for everyone within 1-2 degrees of separation who lost someone that day, it's a day of pain and probably will shape them and I'm sorry for their loss. The rest of us really need to quit giving a fuck. The attack has been overwhelmingly used to further nonsense up and down the political ladder and will continue to do so as long as people give it power.
