I swear to everything I hold sacred that if terrorists attack Chicago, I will either join the military or become a vigilante.

I'm sure everything will be o.k. I was just riled up last nigth from sleep deprivation. I was in the Chicago on 9/11, so it gets my blood boiling to think they might be planning something.

i was in Atlanta during 9/11 and it scared the shit out of everyone bc Hartsfield Airport was (at the time) the airport with the most daily traffic.

So i understand novammans.

Yeah, I honestly thought the only time I would have in my life where I remember exactly what I was doing was when the Challenger blew up (I was 4 or 5 and was in the doctor's office with pneumonia). My mother called from MS on 9/11. I was in my apartment and had been partying the night before, so I was still asleep. She called and told me about New York being attacked. In my half-awake daze, I assumed some MIGs had managed to fly into the country somehow and we were actually being attacked from a military force, and that's when she explained the details.

I was waiting for someone to make a comment like this.

Of course not. But I grew up in Chicago. So it has an extra-personal impact.

I'll be sick over it anywhere. But I will feel the need for some sort of retribution if my home got attacked. I'm sure you understand.

Chicago is a HUGE piece of shit that is major drain on Illinois. I wish that they'd make everything north of Interstate 80 or whatever it is and make that Norther Illinois, then Everything south, Southern Illinois. Make it a state itself, then lets see how well they run without having the rest of the state to support that piece of shit.

Ask anyone south of that dump

I agree that they should funnel less money into the city and spread it out to the the less-wealthy suburbs and to the state in general. I grew up in Calumet City, which is a poor southside suburb. My love is mainly for the southside...but I guess it's a wierd sort of nationalism or home-town pride.

Oh, and I'm terrified about that new building. It's a waste of money and a huge potential target.

...And Kak, I've lived in L.A. too. I'd upset me prettybadly if something happened there as my biological mother and half-siblings live there.

Honestly, is it wrong to feel a stronger level of hurt over a location being attacked that one has a connection to? It's human nature, really. Right or wrong.
