The Ponderosa "celebrates" the day
Not in the sense that Michael Moore and Noam Chomsky celebrate the anniversary of 9/11 -- as well-deserved retribution for our "sins" (e.g., support for Israel, "economic imperialism" and all that other hackneyed drivel) -- rather (!) we celebrate the very existence of America and the wonderful lives we live as a result of God's great generosity in, in our case, making this the land of our birth.
On the first anniversary, we observed the day with tears and recollections -- and certainly the images of the horrors should never be allowed to fade lest we lapse, as many already have, back into the 9/10 mindest-- but last year we decided on a different tack: live it up.
Engage, within reason, in the "debauchery" they so hate: bang your head to pounding heavy metal, sip your fave adult beverage, attend a sporting event and cheer till you spit up parts of your lungs, go to an "R" rated movie, fire up your huge t.v. and satellite system and watch "TVLand" all night, pray to any god other than Allah, motor all over your state in a mammoth SUV, light up an oversized cigar and smoke the whole thing, peruse "Barron's" and select a good stock to invest in when markets open Monday morning -- throw your fist in the air and holler "F-CK MOHAMMED!"
Never forget the nature of the enemy as evidenced by the atrocities of 9/11, and Beslan and Madrid, and understand he is not to be negotiated with or "understood", but crushed under the boot heel of a superior civilization.
