It Might Make a Good Bull's Eye?
Okay, I present this information for you all to make of it what you will.
Whilst I was flipping through the latest Northern Sun catalog, I ran across a curious looking t-shirt. Now I'd been especially wary of Northern Sun after I'd seen them carrying Ron Paul merchandise earlier this year (the same Ron Paul with the medieval social agenda that includes interesting policies on GLBT rights, environmental protection, and is the self-proclaimed "an unshakable foe of abortion" that has repeatedly attempted to overturn Roe vs Wade) and their filing of feminist buttons/bumper stickers/t-shirts under the section "Feminist/Women's Issues" (bold mine) since we know feminism only affects women right?
But I see this t-shirt :
and go, "Wait a minute.... is that... is that the planes hitting the WTC towers?! IN A CARTOON?!"
Maybe I'm overreacting. And I realize this is in reference to the (ugh) "9/11 Truth Movement", which is, aptly put and if nothing else, a conspiracy theory. But a cutesy cartoon of the plane hitting one of towers? That's.... it strikes me as sooooo not fucking right.
To dismiss the mass murder of thousands on a cutesy shirt that also features alien abduction? It just strikes me as not right. I've been debating whether or not to contact Northern Sun:

but not the murder itself, and like you said, it was almost forty-five years ago.
Also, the JFK assassination wasn't the impetus for a preemptive strike against a country that bore no ill will towards us and has killed thousands of both our troops and civilians, among other things. *sigh*
