Ten.

Ten.

It isn’t a big number. We typically buy more than ten eggs at one time. Ten isn’t enough people to field a football team or to fill up one quarter of the seats on a bus.

But, sometimes, ten is a very big number.

Ten is the number of people from my town who went off to work six years ago today, only to be slaughtered by Islamic barbarians.

I will never forgive the savages for what they did on that day, and I will damned sure never forget.

  1. Thirty-seven from my town (I grew up in Middletown). Even one was too many.

  2. The people who did that terrible thing were not true Muslims. From what I understand about Islam, it does not teach violence to other people. I am sure that God or Allah was very saddened on the dark day.

  3. I am so sorry for your loss.

    It did happen that, when the daughter of a co-worker heard about it, she freaked out about a friend of hers there, in New York, working nearby. It was then she realized that she loved him and couldn’t live without him. They married soon afterwards. Everything focused in so tightly that day. We’re not the same, we never can be.

  4. Like Shamrock said, even one was too many. I do not know how many Brooklynites died on 9/11. At least 79 firefighters from Brooklyn are now buried in Green-Wood Cemetery.

    Squad 1 in Park Slope, an elite fire company, took one of the hardest hits, losing 11 guys, and every time I see one of their trucks, I get serious chills. I probably always will.

    Six hundred and ninety-one peeps from New Jersey died on September 11. That’s how many times I hope the shits who did this die over and over again.

  5. Yes I will never forget , I will never forgive , I will never accept. This is the spirit that once was common in America, it is what provided for the determination to prevail in WW2 …….Where in hell did it go?

  6. Oh by the way Kevin…….

    Go to a public library & select a copy of the Koran to read….. I think you will be quite surprised as to what the koran demands of muslims , the fate of non-believers & where the Fundamentalists get their ideas of violence from, particulary where it states … “The sword of Islam will sweep away all before it” You need to understand who your enemies are before making delusional statements. Islam offers only forced conversion, death or slavery ..hardly a religion of peace.

  8. I couldn’t agree more with what dudley1 said in BOTH of his(?) comments and I second his suggestion.

  9. 10 families devastated. Ten people murdered in the name of religion. Ten killed in cowardly attacks. I will never forget.

  10. Kevin, when you do, as dudley1 suggests, “[g]o to a public library & select a copy of the Koran to read,” I highly recommend the very excellent “Two Ply Edition.” Ask for it by name. I think you’ll be impressed with its multi-purpose usability, plus I hear it’s bio-degradable — good for the environment!
