I’m sorry, but I refuse to call today Patriot Day. Let today be a day of rememberance, even a national holiday if it must, but not Patriot Day. That’s as empty and meaningless as the Bush administration’s broken promises to help New York City following 2001’s World Trade Center attacks. Given everything that’s happened in the past two years, I’m inclined to agree with Oscar Wilde who called patriotism “the virtue of the vicious.”
