Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader – The BBC, 9/11 Edition.

Here is how the British Leftists the BBC for Kids is explaining the attacks of 9/11. This reads like something out of a Madrasah textbook. If this is how they are teaching the subject to kids, I think I would preffer to be dumber than a fifth grader, thank you very much.

PS. Anyone who wants an excellent primer to the current strain of Islamic terrorism, please read The Looming Tower, by Lawrence Wright. No, it’s not for fifth graders, but anyone who has read this book, or anything like it, could never have penned that drivel on the BBC site.

PS. A blog-pal pointed out that I misspelled “prefer”. Either I’m a victim of “Whole English“education, or just maybe I AM dumber than a fifth grader!!! 🙂

Sept. 11, 2007

I wrote this last year on the fifth anniversary. It still applies.

Is it selfish,

To be happy to still be alive?

A day so long ago,

Yet still so close to the heart.

We were all changed, but at least we are still alive.

So many lives lost.

Gone forever but still in our hearts.

I breathe. In. Out. In. Out.

And I thank God I was not on a plane…

In a building…

Or on the streets…

In harms way on that fatefull day.

I cry today for those who were.

So much bitter sorrow.

The taste of anger and fear.

Yet I am here.

So I breathe. In. Out. In. Out.

Sometimes that’s more than enough.

Maybe the spirits of those taken that day,

Or the essence of family and friends who have gone before,

Can feel through me the air I breathe.

So I breathe. In.

Oxygen flows from lung to heart.

And feel the comport.

It brings a smile.

I am happy.

I am here.

We are all here.

More on this later. Must go work now.
