I agree..very surprised at how little "normal" convo there was about 9/11. Should we blame short memory or the rapid news cycles, or #Irma?

First, thank you. Many projected something I didn't mean (or say), and I appreciate that you read the words I wrote and took them literally.
-
Second, I think you're right about Irma holding public attention. Current politics are playing a role too.
-
But it's also starting to fade a bit into history. Like Memorial Day or Veterans Day. Remains important to some, but no longer everyone.

I usually treat 9/11 almost as a day of mourning. But I had to evacuate due to Irma so I've been very distracted. Bless all who perished

That's perfectly understandable. I hope everyone you know is ok, and whatever you left is in good shape when you return.

For an observation about media coverage/public conversation? It's up to you, of course. But I don't understand where you're coming from.

No, this year people are on disaster overload. 2 epic hurricanes, President Dumpsterfire and wildfires burning out of control. Tough year.
-
I think that's a big part of it. I'm just not sure it's all of it.
-
Probably, but 16 years later some people need to move on. We don't mourn the dead from the Civil War or WWI annually anymore, either.

Not saying it's right, just trying to provide perspective.

I don't think America has forgotten at all; we just learned the wrong lessons.

Yeah, we need to go kill a few million more Arabs who had not a fucking thing to do with it.
