I don't seem them as much anymore, but I still see them. Those bumper stickers from September 11th that say 'We will never forget!' and have an eagle or some shit on them. Now, not to say that it's a good thing to forget the lives lost on that day, or the heroes who gave their lives, or just made the effort to do something great, and we shouldn't forget the mistakes made by the Bush administration, both in terms of causing the disaster, and failing to prevent it, but come on. We will never forget? Doesn't that kinda mean the terrorist people get what they wanted? That they would have a permanent and memorable impact on us? So driving around with a bumper sticker that says 'we will never forget' is kinda like having one that says 'the terrorists succeeded'.
Anyway, it's just a minor thing. Like I said there are valid arguments behind the statement, but I think they are outweighed by the blatantly obvious interpretation of the sentence. Just something I thought up.
