This is revolting

I think you're right that we're talking about two different things. New Yorkers (and DC and Pennsylvania) had to deal with the physical attack... the debris, the fire, the injured and dying people. Ground zero. I may also never be able to understand the physical devestation after 9/11 that's continued for the last 10 years. I can only empathize with New Yorkers on that level.
But the attack was felt all over the rest of the country. That day was devestating to all Americans. This is my standpoint.
I hope that we were all just talking about different aspects of the same event because I feel very deeply about the events of 9/11 and for anyone to suggest that my comprehension of the events of that day or my feelings about it are somehow not on the same level as theirs just because of where I come from or who I am or some other catagory that I don't fit into, is just wrong.
