I find it fascinating that during the recent presidential campaign, neither side said anything concerning 9/11. Have the terrorist attacks just disappeared from history and now we're arguing about gay marriage?

What's happening to my country? When 9/11 happened, I heard repeatedly that "we will never forget." Well, we have forgotten and moved onto more important issues as marriage licenses for gay couples and bailing out an ailing economy that is dying from the top down. Unbelievable!
