"The guy who shot Kirk got away." Maybe it's "The people who shot Kirk got away." So sad.

As one who watched the WTC collapse from one block away, the day is burned in my brain. I also remember the cry back then, "Never forget." alas, my observation is that now that we are 24 years removed from the attack, essentially one generation, almost everyone has forgotten. and maybe that's the reality, memory lasts for one generation only, after that, people have become far more concerned with the here and now and their own circumstances, rather than the history. this may be the (d)evolution of man and I cannot help but recall Santayana's words, those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it. is that where we are?
