My guess would be the insurance companies....get this when 9/11 happened the following year my Errors and Omissions insurance doubled...when I asked as to why since I had no claims, they told me it was due to 9/11....now how many real estate E&O claims did 9/11 cause...was just a reason to spank me for more money with no just reason in my eye...

I agree with Rush, I normally do in most cases.

But he forgot to mention that a lot of the victims on 9/11 were firefighters putting themselves in harms way.

Also, I think the monies "awarded" to 9/11 victim's families come from civilian donations and private companies and not the government like the military.

Funny (not at all really) how in recent history Americans were so patriotic for such a short time and now our causes and passion have been lost. I have cookbooks of my grandmother's from WWII, they bought and thought nothing but American, it's sad.

I miss hearing the national anthem that was always played at noon time on the local radio stations during the days/months after 9/11

RYD, while you make some compelling points, you and your buddy Rush Pillhead omit the fact that literally none of the 9/11 surviving families have come int moneys totalling anywhere your lowest estimates! Do not misconstrue, I think our fighting men and women are treated abominably both in terms of compensation AND benefits/care (Walter Reed). But this does not justify mischaracterizing the situation of Families surviving 9/11. Check the facts. What was promised is typically NOT what was delivered. And if you want to rant, how abut how ridiculously we compensate our teachers? They're only responsible for shaping our most precious resource; our children, our future. Is it any wonder education in the U.S. lags so far behind other countries?

first off stop using MY BLUE INK. next I only passed on what RUSH said altho i agree with him on this, and if you look at another post of mine today I told everyone to thank a teacher at least once a week,

ALSO

if you research a thread of mine from earlier this year, I wanted to run for DICTATOR and one of the first things i would do is give a FEDERAL RAISE to all classroom teachers...

AND

WHAT IS THAT LITTLE ROLL OF TOILET PAPER ON YOUR VEST ???

I can answer your question.

That's a medal.

I've seen medals before, and that looks like a medal to me.

Hell, I've even been awarded a few back in the day....

That one's special though....

I believe it to be the medal awarded to those released from prison.

You know, people that were able to maintain their virginity throughout their sentence receive the honorable tiny butthole paper roll!

I suppose my time would be best spent researching all your old posts. Like that'll ever happen!

It wouldn't have anything to do with the fact that the teachers aren't held accountable for poor testing results or that the teachers have stopped putting grades on homework so the poor poor children don't get their feelings hurt for turning in crap. You liberal turds have set this country on the road to ruin.

I don't know what prison system you live in but ALL the teachers I know put real grades on ALL the homework and school work they give...

I've not seen this happen in our school district per se...BUT...I certainly have seen where our daughter doesnt get to do a project or learn something in class since the intelligence challenged individuals cannot keep up with the smart kids....so in effect they have to "dumb down" the class so no one gets left behind.

Look at it this way, if I don't keep up in my business, will my competition dumb themselves down so poor ole Mikey doesnt get left behind and go under?...hell no they wont...its a tough world out there, and I feel the kids should be more prepared for it.

You know I think they (the teachers) should be able to paddle kids, I know when I got paddled it always got my attention and I snapped back into line.

Our daughter has some excellent teachers, ones that I would have no trouble if she role modeled any of them.
