The Selling Of 9-11

Salon.com Life | The selling of 9/11

It's funny, I was thinking about this this morning; I was also thinking about a bit in Robert Heinlein's book Friday, where she visits California... in all it's "glory".

(If you haven't read it, basically it's a huckster's paradise; everything's for sale, and everything's about getting your vote. This is a severe oversimplification, I recommend you read it for the full effect.)

It's frightening what we Americans will do to express our feelings these days. It's more frightening what we Americans will do for a buck.
