There is a mixture of shame mixed with enlightenment running through me today.
Because of my sudden paranoia, I made several quick investments that day that resulted in my financial freedom.
I am now retired in my mid-40s and have made millions in the last 5 years, while many of business associates from before 9/11 are suffering bankruptcy, insolvency, and financial humilation not seen since the Depression.
I have many large anonymous donations here in Chicago locally to the Gold Star Society, a group of widows of firefighters.
One can only start to scratch the depth of understanding needed to gauge how badly the 3000 have suffered in NYC. Remember, there are also many countless rescue workers who are even now suffering because of their efforts on the subsequent days at the WTC site.
President Bush should bend that old Jew mayor's arm and make it MANDATORY for ALL workers who were there to recieve some sort of financial help towards their now ever mounting bills for the dehabilitating health.
Well, it's been 5 years. I still live in a bunker. I still am fearful of the government's tremendously easy power to make me vanish for feeling slighted and betrayed by their knee-jerk rush to get over 2900 good men and women killed overseas for a lie.
I want to extend my sympathies out there to all families and friends of those who died on that day.
Then I want a revolution, and I want it now.

Johnny,
That "Jew mayor" has been begging Bush to help. Please get the facts straight. It is the Republicans in DC that have held up funding and been in denial from Day One of the health risks to workers and residents alike.
I hesitate to even get involved in this, but...what does him being a Jew have to do with anything..?
Its a real question..hopefully someone can answer it..
