i just heard this, dont know how true it is, but its about Obama wanting to change September 11th into likte a volunteer for community projects day or something.  anyone know anything about this?  AND, i would prefer this doesnt become another political thread about how everyone hates obama's healthcare plan and shat, but, i know i cant control that so i will TRY to ignore that.  thanks.

see, you turned, "doing community projects" aka habitat for humanity, ect.... actually helping people out, making your community a better place, into "picking up garbage", also, not every job is glamorous, the small boring shit like picking up trash helps make a place cleaner.

and the point wouldn't be to remember 911, its to bring the community together, basically nationalism.

im just going based off of how i heard about it, and considering i was flipping through channels and saw it on CNN its probably completely skewed.

I can see that this thread is already taking a turn for the retarded, but I'll offer some insight to your question.

This September 11, my university had what they called a "Freshman Day of Service." I signed up to go to a local USO station and put together care packages for soldiers abroad. My class together, at various locations, clocked tons of service hours (I forget the actual number). So it's not really an Obama conspiracy as far as I can tell, but it felt good to do something productive on September 11 instead of sit around and feel bad.

im trying to keep this as far away from the usual stupidity i cause in political threads but whatever.  i can understand what you are saying but this is what i got from my friend in the Marine Corps.  essentially, what he heard was Obama, or someone in his camp so to speak, wants to turn Sept 11 into a community projects day when people go to pick up trash and other crap like that.

the care packages, is fucking awesome and i did that after i got laid off so that i would get out of the house.  except, i put chewing tobacco, porn, and caffeine pills in mine because honestly, soldiers like the cookies and letters, but stuff like chewing tobacco and the others give them instant gratification and something to do or that they can use.

if the day became a day where the people would go to make care packages im all for it.  but based on what i heard from my friend of which he heard its about picking up trash and shit.
