Bumpter Sticker Trash


PG was walking down Clairmont Road when he looked down on the sidewalk. Under the leaves and pine straw, there was a bumper sticker…9 11 01 we will never forget. It had red white and blue letters, with stars and stripes galore.
The attack on 911 was not a glorious moment in American history. It was an embarrassing lapse in our defense. We still don’t know what our government knew, and when they knew it. The suspicion remains that our leaders saw an opportunity to gain power, and allowed the plot to go forward,
As for never forget….this may be true, because you can’t forget what you didn’t learn. The bumper sticker was printed ( most likely abroad) on a petroleum based film. The economic dependency on oil has not been reduced. Whether or not we drill in our own territory, a percentage of that oil will come from countries that are hostile. Others pretend to be friendly, while supplying the terrorists who fly airliners into our buildings.
PG has heard that at one time, there was respect for the flag in America. Apparently this does not extend to bumper stickers styled after the flag, proclaiming the memory of a disaster.
