Now to what I was originally going to post. Last week I was watching the 1961 movie "The Absent Minded Professor" with Fred MacMurray with my 11 year old autistic nephew(whom I love very much!). For the old farts like myself you will remember the "professor"(Fred MacMurray) invents "Flubber",a kind of anti-gravity material. To cut to the chase the professor puts some "Flubber" in his Model-T and flys to Washington DC. Well, even 40 years before 9/11, jets were scrambled to intercept the unknown flying vechicle in restricted air space WITHIN MINUTES(in the movie it was less than a minute). My point here is that 40 years ago the general public knew,believed, and accepted the fact that restricted air space around Washington DC was "sacred ground" and is the most protected spot in our country. And, that any unidentified intruder would be dealt with IMMEDIATELY! So,fast forward 40 years later to 9/11/01. Why does the general public (and the especially the media!) not wonder what went wrong? And more importantly,why aren't people outraged? Why isn't every damn politician outraged?????
Thanks for listening. Love you all!
