Today, 8 years ago, we learned the cost of oppression and exploitation. We paid for the blood on the sand with blood on our streets. It should have taught us a lesson that the supposedly just, necessary, and righteous assaults on the sovereignty and human freedoms of people of colour around the world by our patriarchal government and corporate masters has consequences and if we sit by and ignore it then WE will pay the toll. Instead we rallied and fear, hate, and racism. God, Guns, and Country rather than humanity, charity, and tolerance. We will never be free of the evils of our oppressors without a true revolution of the heart and mind. We must overthrow this system and learn our lessons and change our ways before it is too late.

Beautiful. Great post, Ian.
I distinctly remember getting on the bus to school on the 12th and being greeted by a uniformed soldier in full battle-rattle holding an m4 at me making sure my idea was in order.
Hear, hear <3
I think that we have not learnt our lessos from 9/11. In our site, we had a 9/11 special where we traced the blame. We put the blame on 4 Presidents amongst other and I am sure that we have laid it all out in less than a 1000 words. Please visit….
loved the way you had put it
