What were you doing when 911 happened

Freedom Isn't Free
by Team America

What would you do
If you were asked to give up your dreams for freedom
What would you do
If asked to make the ultimate sacrifice

Would you think about all them people
Who gave up everything they had.
Would you think about all them War Vets
And would you start to feel bad

Freedom isn't free
It costs folks like you and me
And if we don't all chip in
We'll never pay that bill
Freedom isn't free
No, there's a hefty fargin' fee.
And if you don't throw in your buck 'o five
Who will?

What would you do
If someone told you to fight for freedom.
Would you answer the call
Or run away like a little Hoyda
'Cause the only reason that you're here.
Is 'cause folks died for you in the past
So maybe now it's your turn
To die kicking some ass

Freedom isn't free
It costs folks like you and me
And if we don't all chip in
We'll never pay that bill
Freedom isn't free
Now there's a have to hook'in fee
And if you don't throw in your buck 'o five
Who will?

You don't throw in your buck 'o five. Who will?
Oooh buck 'o five
Freedom costs a buck 'o five

I was in college and an editor of a website for writers at the time. I had just woken up and was checking the site. Shortly after the second plane hit the WTC, I was messaged by a British writer who informed me that America was under attack and it was a "farging great day" and that he was "celebrating" because America deserved it. That's the first I had heard of anything that morning.

I'm also smart enough to know when to shut my yap on a subject.

See what i mean...what are you gonna do? You gonna ban me for disagreeing with you? Gimme a friggin break.

No. I'm going to ridicule you for being a pansy. Constantly.

I smell a new custom title coming.

I was working at Georgetown University, about 1.5 mi from the Pentagon.  My wife, an OR nurse, called to tell me about NY, and we turned on the radio just in time to hear that the Pentagon had been hit.  You could see the smoke from campus.  Of course, I have one sibling, a twin brother, who's a bond broker on Wall Street, 2 blocks from the WTC.  So, needless to say, our parents were freaking out.

And Dio's point is well taken.  There have been a lot of lives lost over this, many of them innocent.  Both here and in Iraq.  To minimize any of those deaths is to be incredibly insensitive, and hypocritical.

I hope so...i've been wanting one for quite some time.

I wouldn't count on it.

[Zanshin]

And yet somehow, life will move on.

[General_Failure]

Otherwise, the terrorists win.

[Zanshin]

Exactly.  Keep on keepin' on, brother....

I was working that morning here in Chicago right next to the Board of Trade (a block from the Sears Tower) on Sept. 11th.  I was listening to Mike & Mike, trying to wake up, and getting annoyed with the "Michael Jordan's announcing he's coming back" talk.  They mentioned a plane hitting the towers, so i walked into the break room to see it on whatever news station was on.  I saw the 2nd plane hit, saw the towers collapse, and then heard there was one plane unaccounted for.  It was then, that i told my boss that since the Board of Trade was being evacuated along with the majority of the loop, I'm getting the hell out of downtown.

On my way home, some douchebag northsider in his yuppie ass suit said to his Red Bull drinking friend, "we should try to catch the Cubs game now that we don't have to work!"

farging Cubs fans.  Worthless.

Damn...foiled again...you meddling kids.

[thrillhouse]

I'll never forget.  Someone ran into class and said a plane just hit the world trade center, watched helplessly from about a mile away just across the river.

Worst day ever...

Was woken up by my brother pounding on the door telling me to get up to watch television. I was like, "It's farging 7am or something, why the farg should I be watching television?" I went back to sleep but he came back and said I "had to see this". I finally got the farg up. And here I was bitching about not getting enough 'rest'.

[WEST is GOD]

I was sound asleep. I woke up after the first tower collapsed and before the second collapsed. My friend called me and woke me up.
