As Americans, today is not a day to be bickering about politics. It was seven years ago when America was attacked by terrorists. All of us know what we were doing that day when it happened. I was a freshman in college, in chemistry class when I found out. Immediately afterwards, with our campus being completely wireless even in 2001, we all jumped online to find out more information. I vividly recall Fox News, CNN and other news sites being so jammed that I was unable to get online. In addition our school was cancelled because, at the time, the area the school is located in was considered a high risk for attack, due to many of the large corporate headquarters nearby, the majority of which, based in Detroit, were automotive.

We are all Americans first, and political ideologues second. Let's reflect on what brought us together as a country and hold back on attacks for at least one day. Anyone, right or left, who participates in any attacks or jabs at the other side will have lost a major deal of respect.
