4. I won't forget. Lesson 1: Don't put Repubs in charge of government

Lesson 2: Don't give the presidency to a drunk frat boy and Lesson 3: Don't let Neo-cons be in positions of power.

[Atman]

5. Never trust a GOP government.

That's a pretty good lesson, as far as I'm concerned.

6. Ignoring their intent in that phrase, here are the lesson of 9/11

- an unelected pResident with falling poll numbers can see those numbers go up if the country gets attacked (even if he fails to show any leadership during the attack and didn't read the warning briefings
- doesn't matter who attacked us, we get to strike back at the target of our choice (eg. Iraq)
- a broadly defined 'War on Terror' is both a blank check to expand the government and loot the treasury AND a club to beat up anyone who dares ask why the Constitution should be gutted

7. The lessons of 9-11...

One of those lessons must be to be ready to capitalize on any tragedy that befalls this country.
Another lesson might be that crookedness and lying beats empathy and forgiveness anytime.

[Bucky]

8. The lesson: When Republicans are in charge, stay out of the military...

... and tall buildings for that matter.
