When your kids come home from school and tell you about discussions that happend during class on dates in history. Well I learned alot today from Q18. Most important thing he actually listens ~ :woo ~ second apparently the teacher had the same reaction I did when he announced to me about the discussion!!
Q18 comes home and sits down and ask "Mama, do you think 9/11 was a consipirsy of the government?" Me shaking my head I say "What?" He asked me again and I said "no I don't believe it was a consipirisey of the government, do I believe that the government had some knowledge, yes I have thought that all along and it has been proven that in the commission report that the Cliton administration did have and ignored the threat of 9/11" Then he asked me did I believe that Neal Armstong was actually the first person to walk on the moon or did they film it in a stuido in California. By this time I'm shaking my head asking him what on earth was he talking about and where would he get an idea like that?
Common question for me since well lets face it Q18 can come up with some far fetched ideas/thoughts/ and phrases that leave many shaking thier heads in disbelief!!!
Anyways more to the point that was a discussion that transpired in his government and journalism classes. He told me that most of his class stated that 9/11 was a government consipirisy and that Neal Armstrong did not walk on the moon.
So my natural response to him was "and you said or thought or verbalized???" He said he just sat there and listened saying nothing. I asked him what did the teacher have to say and he said the teacher just asked in a "persepective" type of discussion "Did they believe the holocaust (however you spell it) happended" that is the only thing they all agreed did happen.
It just amazes me how things change yet stay the same in the mind set of people. It is also very frightening to say the least!!!
On today's date that has been burned not only in our memories, but our hearts I want to take a moment of silence to remember those who lost their lives no matter their skin color, beliefs etc and for those whom are serving our country to protect our freedom and those whom have lost their lives protecting our country. Lives have been lost, families have been broken and heart broken, regarless who they died children are without a parent/s and parents are without child/ren. Today should be a day of honor, memory and gratefulness.
Today and always we honor them all!!!
Nite
