I get that bit, but what I'm saying is that what does an average person do on the day? Obviously you live your life as usual, but do you guys for example take one minute where you just sit in silence to commemorate those lost?

I mean, it depends. For the most part I think people just go about there days normally, but maybe take time out to watch some of the memorial specials on TV, such as the name readings, maybe visit a church or your place of worship even if not religious, or your favorite quiet spot and say a prayer.

A moment of silence is something I think a lot of people do, as well as toasting to the dead.

Me personally, I still tear up sometimes when watching the footage, especially on the 11th when the reminder is so real and raw.

Think a lot depends on things such as how old you were when it happened and what kind of connection you had with the area and people and the events and atmosphere that followed, it was really shocking. I remember that day and the year that followed vividly.

It set forth a spiraling of attitude and policy change, a lot of which was revealed to be subplot. Things haven't been the same in this country since and most of it for the worst.

This country is going down in flames just as the towers did on that fateful day and a majority of it is a direct correlation to the power the tragedy gave to people that should have never been privileged to and the distraction to responsibility and live in the moment lifestyle it ultimately promoted to the common public out of fear and rejoice.
A vehicle for evil and control so to speak.

Sorry if I went off on a tangent, but it's pretty deep, I could go on for days...

If Chalmers is named starter then i think he's the best from the group since he'll give you 3's and steals. For assists 'd go with Lowry (based solely because of the playing time he'll get).

Trying to point how the elder statesmen know when to post and when not post (in reference to the Melo situation)...jeff took a couple of jabs and had nothing else to say...I was trying point out that you weren't around for a reason...

...the hysteria I saw last night over nothing by some fans here was pretty insane...actually it was pretty sad...but I bit my tongue and said there are still a few that get it...

Regardless, we all might have to give into this new Front Office regime...

No but I am insulted that by not being included in that group I will inevitably have to be included in the same group as you.

I think with all the Melo rumors, the present economy, the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, this needs to be said and I'm sure all of you have been waiting for me to say this for quite some time...

Colin Cowherd needs to stop hitting on my woman...

Are you cryptically trying to tell us you´re Colin Cowherd?

If he is, Rich doesn't know a damn thing about Basketball or Baseball.
