A Tribute and an Observation on September 11th
The video offered here from AP on YouTube is a fine example of what Americans need to focus on today and throughout the years. ‘Never forget’ and the slide show rememberance featured on blogs and other sites around the country and the world are a tribute to those who lost their lives and the living who honor their memory. It is also a call to arms against those who would do us harm for their own sick agendas.
Now for an observation that may be out of place here but then it is intended to be combined with this post honoring those whose lives were taken by terrorists on 911 so that it may be viewed by the public that they may express their displeasure. While preparing this particular post and in many other cases this blog makes use of Google for finding material to present as well as other sources. Google often transforms their main page logo to some event of the day and it links to related search results. It may be for most recently the 2008 Olympics or the launch of an experiment like the Large Hadron Collider. Google and other internet giants and their images were blemished by helping China restrict internet access to its citizens. Is the fact that Google had not used its logo for 911 related content today another blemish? Of all the lesser events for which Google uses its logo on the search engine’s main page, why did they not use it for honoring 911 as they had for an event of lesser importance, the 2008 Beijing Olympics? That’s just an observation folks.
