Remember 9/11... or not?

Okay so I went to school today, expecting to hear about the horror that was 9.11 all day long. To my shock, it was only mentioned in one class (English of course), and nobody brought it up in the halls or at lunch either. Yes, hearing the same things over and over again is extremely boring, but shouldn't people do it? I mean that was only six years ago. I just think that it's funny how people refer to it as our country's "darkest hour", yet they barely even remember it happened just six years later. 9.11 has been forgotten; I had a TEACHER ask me what the date was today. This guy wasn't just one of those absent-minded people either. He has two degrees from Dartmouth!! Anyway, I'm not complaining about it (I am certainly in no way, what so ever, patriotic), but I just find it funny that people made such a huge deal over it only six years ago and now it's just completely inconsequential. September 11th is just another day of the week.

Then again, maybe this is just the people at my school caught in their little bubbles that they call lives...
