If it were a memorial I might support it but it does sound kind of crass. I wish they would quit messing around and make it easier for people in such disasters to get meaningful help.

F.Y. I. Do you know workman's compensation checks still do not have to be directly deposited into the benificiary's account because the payors (the mega million dollar insurance companies) might accidently send a check to someone who died between checks? This means widow's and widower's or the aged parents that are careing for those children who lost their parents have to stand in line in a bank and wait sometimes as long as 21days to cash a check for their needs or pay a check cashing place a fee for their benifits that will never increase with the cost of living? Or that while a person is in litigation for a settlement that they don't qualify for most assisstnce programs? But you know the politicians that make political hay on orphans and widows/ers get COLA raises every year. We say we care but it is lip service because most people just shake their heads an maybe swear or change the channel when they hear these meaness. .
I did not know that

I was watching an encore presentation of a show called " 102 Minutes That Changed America " on The History Channel earlier tonight.

After watching the movie United 93, I was totally speechless. I was even more so when I finished watching " 102 Minutes ".

The day it happened....it was more of a WTF??? moment. Looking back now is more of a " wow " and stunner type of thing.
