Same is true for George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Condolessa Rice, John Ashcroft, George Tenant, et al. I imagine a big prison where their only contact with the outside world is with victims of their crimes. They must sit and listen to their stories for 8 hours a day. That is the punishment I wish for them.<br /><br />For the rest of us, I wish for justice, and eventually peace.<br /><br />But who knows how things will work out?free2be2coolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05099214254061092990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6458053151432737655.post-89819684039667620082009-12-07T18:14:11.188-05:002009-12-07T18:14:11.188-05:00As one of responders that you talk about, I am one...As one of responders that you talk about, I am one of those effected by my problems at Ground Zero. My illnesses include Throid and lymph node cancer, Asthma, Fibromyalgia, PTSD, Sinusitis, Sleep Apnea, Chronoc Headaches, Chronic Fatigue and others. THe financial problems are as numerous as my health problems. Many friends I worked with from Ground Zero have the same problems. If the U.S. government can take care of prisoners of terror why can the not help men and women who risked life and limb for this country. The EPA lied to us, if we had known we could have armed ourselves with maximum protection against the toxic dust and fumes that they knew were present. In my opinon Christy Todd Whitman should be criminally charge because she knew the toxins in the air. She claims to have sent mask to the site for protection, they were paper masks that offered no protection at all against the toxic air. I am no longer able to provide for my family including health insurance. The government has yet dealt another blow to me by denial of SSDI as they feel I'm not sick enough to be disabled. Love my country, hate my government. Over 200 years ago settlers in the new world overthrough a government that abused their power over the people. maybe its time to change our government through peaceful means like watch congress carefully and replacing them with real people who understand the american people. How can you know how people feel in these economic time while sitting on a hill that provides the with a pay check while millions suffer. Let them try being an unemployed worker for one week with no income, no food, no insurance, no home, and children who have to go without and then tell us they know what we mean. I;m am lucky to have family that has help me survive till now. without them I would have probably not have survived this long. Please call you reps and senators now and tell them to act now to help these non military veterans in the war on terror. Some uniformed veterans were also there along with many volunteers who have the same problems to so please dont forget them tooKirk Arsenaultnoreply@blogger.com
