9/11 & Buffalo economy
So I found this video on my friends myspace page. Honestly, I do not find it hard to beleive that the government would do something close to this. I mean, you can not tell me that our government had no way of knowing this was going on, it just seems to me like to big of a thing to just not notice. But I am more than likely wrong on the subject, I just would like to beleive that if our government could not protect us, it was because they were involved in the tragedy in a direct way. You can compare this with Hurricane Katrina. Everybody is convinced that the government knew ahead of time that this was going to happen, and even if they didn't they did a horrible job responding to the thousands (or was it millions) of people that were left homeless and stranded in a flooded town with no way out or food or clean water, or emergency care etc etc etc. I know that everyone already knows this, but is there something that the general public can do to let their government know that they still have not fogotten about these things and we want some answers as to why they happened. Our generation seems to not really be involved in the running of this country at all, we can't even get our acts together and vote. What is going to happend when it is our turn to run the country, are we going to have to be lead by the few that paid attention because they followed in their parents footsteps and are rich republicans that only care about saving money for themselves. Or is someone actually going to step up and say enough is enough, we need universal health care, and free college. Especially in Buffalo. We just got voted the secord poorest city in the country. What a blow to us. I mean yeah, it was not a huge shock, but if we can't even get our city together to finish the waterfront and stop making stupid decisions about our goverment leaders and our policies,then how is our generation ever really going to be able to make a difference in the world when its our turn? We havepoor role models right here are home and our president is not doing a much better job than our control board. We all need to be thinking about the future rather than things we did wrong in the past. Why do we keep repeating the same mistakes over and over? There is not going to be a world for my grandchildren if my generation keeps acting like this.
Its time for some change
