If you’re working today, the terrorists have already won.
I posed a challenge to the Godless science-worshipers who are wasting their lives on the forums at The Skeptics Guide to The Universe to help me think up some more SCIENTIFIC reasons that we should have September 11th off from work. Needless to say, they couldn’t come up with a single scientific reason…in fact, other than the title of this post and some name calling, I didn’t get much from them at all.
Here are the reasons I’ve come up with on my own:
1. It’s proven to be bad luck. The worst national tragedy our nation has ever faced happened on this day.
2. Terrorists like anniversaries and routinely make threats to coincide with Sept. 11th. Going to work could pose a legitimate threat to the security of our nation.
3. The 9/11 victims would have wanted us to take the day off.
4. It’s hard to get back into the spirit of work after Labor Day, this would be a nice transition back into productivity. Probably pretty good for the economy.
5. Martin Luther King Jr. Day is a Federal holiday, but not 9/11. It really seems to me like we’re playing God with the Federal Holiday schedule.
I’m sure there are others, but I feel this list is comprehensive enough that some changes should be made. As for me, I’ll go to work and collect the paycheck, but I’ll be damned if I lift a finger to actually do anything on this day of remembrance.
Also, God Bless fire fighters, the real heroes in our War on Terror.

I don’t know about how science it is, but I got a damn good reason: It’s the law that we pray for those what died on 9/11. Mr. Bush made the law in 2002 and called it the “National Day of Prayer and Remembrance for the Victims Of the Terrorist Attacks.” You right it ain’t a national holiday like King day but it oughta be.
And I don’t know about you, but it takes me several hours to lower all my flags, then bring them all back up.
I think we should have it off because of all what we’re supposed to do what’s required by law. It’d make that moment of silence easier too, if we was all sleeping in.
