The Worst Our Country Has To Offer

Today is September 11, 2012. Eleven years after the worst disaster this country has ever experienced.
And these a**holes in NY and NJ cannot get together to create a memorial to the people who died, the people who survived, the people who unselfishly responded to attempt to rescue innocent victims of militant response to America's supposed policies.
Disgusting.
Absolutely disgusting.
I am looking at headlines dated September 8 that say "a financial dispute has halted construction on the highly anticipated September 11 museum."
This takes a tribute to the most horrific attack this country has ever witnessed and reduces it to the level of every other business and political decision that takes place daily in this country.
Are you f***ing serious?
"Disagreeing factions in NY and NJ have put the brakes on the construction of the September 11 Memorial and Museum."
Now of course today the word was that they reached agreement and the project will move forward.
THEY SHOULD NEVER HAVE HAD TO HAVE REACHED AGREEMENT.
"The museum is expected to open sometime in 2014."
This exposes America at its worst.
There should be no argument here, no debate, no compromise.
It should have been done quickly and it should have been done with class, respect, admiration, sadness, despair and steely resolve.
Everything in America gets bogged down in partisanship, finances, business, bloated egos, petty bullsh**.
Over three thousand people were killed in this attack.
Anybody putting together a tribute should be able to hold hands, look directly into the eyes of decision makers, keep victims and families of victims, lost rescue workers and families of lost rescue workers, survivors, and surviving rescue workers in mind and MAKE THIS THING HAPPEN.
I am ashamed of America for not getting it done in eleven years.
And we wonder why the world is passing us by.
