September 11, 2001

I know we are suppose to stop and remember September 11, 2001.  However, I don't.  I just don't want to be reminded of what brought about that tragedy day.  I don't want to think about the lives that were lost.  The planes flying into the buildings. The people jumping to their deaths.  This day is so sad and on the other had to full of promise.  Why does it take a situation like death to honor America workers.  Why did they dislike America so much that they would take three thousand lives and their own in the process? 
 
After being born and raised in America I can understand the reasons another Country would want to do harm to America.  We aide and supply money, food, and weapons to other Nations.  In return we want to dictate to them what democracy should be.  What?  We don't have democracy in America and yet we use out money and weapons to influence other nations.  When all this stuff is put in the mix of politics you get a September 11, 2001. 
 
I must hand it to the terrorist, they really did a number on America.  After September 11, 2001 everything changed.  Even to the point you take off your shoes before you board a plane.  Your phone calls are listened in on, you can get on a no fly list and not even know it.  I feel for all those effected by the events of September 11, 2001.  However it is September 11, 2013 it is time we move on.  No more ringing the bells, no more moment of silence, no more reading of three thousand names, and no more Presidential speeches on the subject. 

Where have I been?

Norwood's favorite IN(dependent) has been slacking in her duties to keep you informed on what is happening in Norwood.  My last post was approximately one month ago.  That is better than last time when I didn't post for months.  Let me assure you a lot has happened since my last post.  The city fire department received a grant to hire more firemen.  Let's hope the Chief of the Norwood fire department think about hiring a woman and for goodness sake hire a black person.  Crime is rampage in Norwood.  The first week in September there was three robberies in one night.  School has started back.  The urology center had a successful ZERO Prostate Cancer Run.  City Council have all but scrapped the plans to raise the landlords certification fees.  The City's C 9 Trust fund is in jeopardy of being eliminated all together.  The city is still viberent and alive. 
 
I miss posting on Norwood News and Views.  I kinda feel like a employee that does not show up for work.  Is that considered a no call no show?  Am I not being a good team player?  Does someone not get information because I don't show up(I don't think so)?  Will someone else try to replace me?  Is there more I can do to better myself?  Should I take a writers course?  Should I just wing it?  Whatever comes of me, I will do better.  I will give it the good oh girl folks are depending on you try. 
 
The first thing I'm trying to do is change the lay-out.  Wish me luck.
Sincerely,
Norwood's Favorite IN(dependent) Voice.
