Should 9/11 be a national day of volunteerism, charity and good deeds?

FWIW, the Web site is trying to get individuals to spend 9/11 doing good deeds, not make it a mandatory holiday for that purpose.

 

Sounds like church, where people spend 6 and 1/2 days stomping all over the 10 Commandments, then going to church on Sunday.

 

Exactly... I was told there was a movement in the early 60s to make Nov. 22 a national holiday after the JFK assassination...

 

That's what we do on Washington's birthday already.

 

You could do what these guys are doing:

I'm waiting for the first Sept. 11 sales.

We already have MLK Day sales.

 

Duct tape, baby.

 

Will the Sept. 11 sales be everything marked down to $9.11 or the large ticket items selling for $911?

 

How would you advertise Sept. 11 sales?

Our discounts tower over the competition, but only for a limited time!

 

The same way I spent D-Day, VJ-Day, and that I'll be spending 9/11 -- working.

 

If you force somebody to volunteer, is it still volunteering?

 

No, it's "community service."
