128. Is it? Do we give days like this for those killed in "industrial accidents"? Or by pollution?

I don't understand why we need a special day for those killed by a treasonous plot involving government insiders, but we don't need to honor people killed every day by industrialism and its economic byproducts.

EVERY day is a good day to honor those Americans killed in the struggle for freedom, whether they die as soldiers or as workers.

I COULD, though, see making a Guy Fawkes type of holiday out of 9-11, but only after the war crimes trials.
