Crying again...

silversolitaireJust saw footages of people looking for missing persons, crying, being so sad... Gods, this kills me. I'm so sad now, too... *sniffs*
The thing is... just think! If you were to travel back in time, Tuesday morning, and you jump to the phone and tell the people in the WTC to get the fuck out of there and tell the Airforce about the approaching planes, would anyone take you seriously? No... they'd think it's a prank call, they'd laugh at you...
It's depressing...
I wish there's more I could do. I just saw these pictures and I wanted to hug them, all of them, and tell them my heart is with them and that they'll make it, somehow... even if it hurts.
What bothers me is that they all whip out the flag. Stuff like that always jarrs me... can't tell why. I don't like patriotism... political patriotism. Freaks me out. Cultural patriotism is fine with me. You can be proud of your heritage, your countries cultural goods, your history... that's wonderful. But please... don't get political. So many terrible things have happened when people get too political...
