35. I was there when 9/11 happened.

And I am not over it yet. So when people try to be funny and compare things to 9/11, they really infuriate me in a way that may not make sense to anyone who wasn't there, whether it's the left or the right. And for chrissake, get your facts and analogies straight.

I wouldn't dare compare my own experiences to Holocaust survivors, but I get a tiny inkling of what they must have felt anytime someone compared something trivial to Hitler.
