I think we make too big a deal about 9/11

114. Agree with this paragraph:

Eventually people like me that lived through it, and our children that grew up after 9/11, will be dead and gone, and the generations that come after it aren't going to have an emotional connection to it anymore, and then it will forever be up to history to remind us of the good, the bad, and the ugly of it all. I think then you might see the transformation you think is needed now as to what 9/11 looks like. I for one have never shed a tear for the lives lost at Pearl Harbor. Not because they weren't important, or it wasn't horrific, but because it is not something i LIVED through, or even my parents lived through, to tell me the tale.

It's the emotional connection. I never shed a tear over Pearl Harbor and never felt anything from it because I wasn't born.
