I was disgusted when I watched a segment on CNN about twin girls who were born in NYC on September 11. Since you probably didn't see it, you can read the transcript here.
Woo! That's a kick-ass message to send to Al-Qaeda. Depriving your kids of their own birthday! Because the terrorists totally weren't trying to complicate or interrupt your lives.
I just don't understand the logic behind this. Celebrating the lives that were brought into this country despite the tragedy surrounding it is a much more fitting tribute than any cheesy montage set to a generic ballad. There is one birth every seven seconds. 12,343 people shouldn't have to live their lives differently because of their date of birth. Its not like they decided to make their way out so they could watch live coverage on CNN.
Ugh, I hope health care is better for the next generation, if only for all the therapy they're going to need.
Point: If you can't celebrate your birthday, the terrorists win.
