Do You Feel Safer In The 10 Years Since 9/11?

An interactive poll using Google Maps technology asks the question “Do you feel safer in the 10 years since 9/11?” The responses are shown on the map with the answer and the location of the person who responded. Of the total votes taken so far, most say they do not feel safer. Even more interesting is that for each vote a discussion thread is created along people to clarify their answers and others to ‘debate’ them. What about you? Does the active war on terror, heightened security measures, TSA rules, death of Osama Bin Laden or any of the policies...

Faith Leaders Among Those Banned From 9/11 10 Year Anniversary Memorial Ceremony

9/11 Survivors Not Allowed At Ground Zero 10th Anniversary Memorial

New York is hosting a 10 year memorial commemoration of the September 11, 2001 disaster but the survivors won’t be allowed to attend. Apparently space is limited and only the families of those that lost their lives on that day are on the guest list. This will be the first year the ceremony will be held at the new 9/11 Memorial. I understand space limitations but something really doesn’t sound right about not having room for the people who actually made it out alive. They endured a horrific event and lost friends and coworkers that day as well. Instead of...
