"Pricetag on Life"
Why do we feel the need to compensate the victims of
terrorists from foreign lands, as opposed to victims
of gang violence, riots, tornadoes, or U-Haul trucks
in Oklahoma City? Do we draw the line when the action
or attack is meant to send a message to our
government? Mr. McVeigh directed his attack on our
government, yet we aren't paying victims this large
amount of money. I am truely sorry for your loss,
however we have to protect ourselves from bailing
everyone out of their problems.
Why does the family of a firefighter seek: $250,000
on 9/10, but more on 9/11? I feel for these families
the most. Killed in the line of duty to save other
people is the greatest sacrifice of all. However, the
memory of the victims that these firefighters were
there to save should not be tarnished by their
survivors. Stop looking to others for accountability.
Please take what you have...... and be thankful.
***DOJ***
Please decide not to increase the benefits provided
by this bill. Show the country that everyone is
important, and refuse to place a higher pricetag on
life on 9/11 then on any other day in history.
