Today is the third anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. I will quietly say a prayer for the 3,000+ souls who died on that day, as well as for their friends and families who have had to find a way to cope in the aftermath.

At the same time, I cannot help but feel completely outraged that politicians like Bush and Cheney continue to use fear and intimidation based on the events surrounding 9/11 to help them win the election. In my mind, that is the most despicable and lowest form of human behavior possible.

Trying to scare Americans into voting for them is not American -- it’s completely shameful and about as unpatriotic as you can get.
