How could we ever forget with all the politicizing?

I just wanted to add that the CNN online re-broadcast of its 2001 coverage is a very good way not to "dare ever forget" -- as if we could. It's quite impressive and less traumatic that I suspected. http://www.cnn.com/pipeline/landing/index.sept11.html
I'd like to echo Dan and DS's sentiment. At least for a day, we should put aside politics and rhetoric and reach out to one another. Right on dude. Right on.
It's not just about "not forgetting". We should try and treat each other here in the U.S. like we are neighbors, and not like we are competitors. Be courteous to each other...look to help each other instead of helping ourselves. Instead of racing someone to the end of the merge lane, slow down and let them through. Instead of jumping in the grocery line before someone else, let them go ahead. If you see an elderly person having trouble with something, stop for a second and see if you can help them.
Remember, it was our neighbors...every day people...who died in those attacks. We need to pull together as a community to remember, learn, and change.

Today, of all days, lets just stop with separations between us of all kinds- religous, political, and physical - and just remember the souls who died.
