The dog and pony show over the air quality in lower Manhattan after 9/11 isn’t as much about the ponies as it is about lying dogs, as I have said before.
Don’t care?
Today, Newsday reports “Reggie Hilaire wasn’t too interested in tuning in to watch ex-EPA chief Christie Whitman testify before a House panel Monday. Don’t blame him. John Feal or Chris Baumann, like me, weren’t that interested in her testimony either. We’ve all heard this before.
Whitman is an icon for an era or lying, not hers, as I have already said, she’s a throw away scapegoat.
The three area residents all worked at or near Ground Zero in the days or months after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, and each of the men said they didn’t expect to learn anything new from Whitman’s testimony.”
“Baumann, 44, said he was on the scene three minutes after a jet hit the North Tower and was partially blind for more than a year after the attacks. He said his lungs are scarred, there’s a mass between them that doctors are monitoring and he has post-traumatic stress disorder.
Feal, 40, of Nesconset, briefly watched Whitman’s testimony before becoming agitated by her “excuses.” “There’s not a word that comes out of her mouth that I believe,” Feal said.
Feal was a demolition supervisor at Ground Zero from Sept. 12 to Sept. 17, 2001, when a steel beam fell on his left foot, and doctors had to amputate half of it, he said. He now runs the FeelGood Foundation, a nonprofit advocacy group for 9/11 responders.”

You have cited excellent examples of the reasons for our military presence in Afghanistan. We need to rid this world of the hatred aimed at our country. Our presence in Iraq does not do this.
The United States of America is the most humanitarian nation on this planet, and its about time that we let the world and this ignorant organization with the initials, A.Q (Asinine Quotient), realize this.
When we exert intelligent fortitude into our implementation of foreign policies, our interactions with other human beings and our treatment of the planet, the resonance of this positive action can be more powerful than the alternative.
Each person needs to look into her/his own consciousness and figure out how s(he) fits into this positive schema. This creates within each individual a powerful tool for the advancement of civilization.
However, I’m still waiting to discover a presidential candidate who will move our country in this direction. Currently, all I see is a gaggle of gutsy go-getters, arguing against themselves.
Imagine this: Each candidate speaks and acts in accordance with his/her divine nature. How enlightened the campaign trail would be! How powerful our nation would be!
