The Washington Post has a front page story about a Congressman from North Carolina holding up the $10M-$60M in federal money to go to a memorial for Flight 93, the plane who's passengers had the balls to stand up to Al-Qaeda and force the plane down (though some conspiracy theorists think it was shot down).
I support the Congressman Taylor. I do not think the federal government should be wasting tax money erecting memorials for every event that has changed this country.
After 9/11, people all around the country started waving around dinky little flags and putting stickers of these flags on their car, where they would catch the mud and shit of the road. Instead of a gesture such as that, maybe Americans should do what I did: donate $25 to the memorial fund. I challenge anyone reading this blog to do just that. If only 1% of Americans donated that much, we'd have more than what would be required for funding.
