[lbo-talk] 9/11 Tenth Anniversary

[Mark Bennett]

Oh, I don't care.  I just assumed that the 10th anniversary would be the
subject of all kinds jingoistic propaganda, along with a sanctimonious media
blitz.  It seems to me, admittedly a long way from New York, that few are
making a big deal of it.  This appears to confirm something Doug has
mentioned in several of his recent podcasts - that US society and culture
has lost a great deal of its vitality.
