Six years ago today, some clueless desert dwellers hijacked some planes and smashed them into the World Trade Center, resulting in the unfortunate deaths of almost 3,000 people.

Since then, this event has been shamelessly capitalized upon by politicians and media alike to aggrandize themselves and their own personal agendas, spreading far more fear and uncertainty than any isolated bunch of sand-eating blow-hards would have ever been able to accomplish on their own.

Today, on this day of days, let's take a few seconds to remember the loss of lives with a moment of silence, and then move on with even more silence.

Let this day be the day we simply stopped giving a damn about what some ineffectual backwaters living in caves think, and get back to living our lives like real human beings who believe in life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
