With the anniversary of September 11th 2001 coming tomorrow I thought I'd update a post I put in an open thread a few days back, see the one for this afternoon has already been up and with a number of posts already, so I'll update this way as I feel it's really important.
Why, well because of 9/11, tomorrow, and our two still ongoing wars of choice from and showing the reality of this country and most of it's citizens as to both!

Remember this from a few days back.
“Everybody’s concern is we’ll have one-legged veterans like in that Tom Cruise movie wheeling their wheel chairs up and down the street swigging out of a bottle,” McCartney said. “Whether there is any truth to that or not, that’s their concern.”

Oakland Park votes down VA facility
City leaders Wednesday called the proposed veterans’ treatment program ‘incompatible’ with its plan for a family-friendly downtown.
7 September 2011 - The night began patriotically — with the anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks only days away, the Oakland Park City Commission honored its fire and police officers.
The night ended divisively — with Oakland Park city leaders rejecting a proposed Veterans Administration treatment program as incompatible with the city’s plan for a retail-focused, family-friendly downtown.
“I fully support our first responders, our soldiers, our veterans,” said City Commissioner John Adornato, one of those to vote against the veteran’s center. But, he added, “this is not the place given our long-term vision for bringing retail down to our Main Street.”
Oakland Park’s Main Street downtown area runs north from Oakland Park Boulevard near the intersection with Dixie Highway. The city has invested millions of dollars in transforming its downtown into a pedestrian-friendly, visually-appealing thoroughfare, with new streetscapes and landscaping among the many improvements.
However, more than half of the buildings on Main Street are vacant despite the city’s development effort, pointed out Bonnie Miskek, an attorney representing WSSA LLC, the developer behind the project. read more>>>
