Monday, January 28, 2002 9:10 AM "Pricetag on Life" Why do we feel the need to compensate the victims of terrorists from foreign lands, as opposed to victims of gang violence, riots, tornadoes, or U-Haul trucks in Oklahoma City? Do we draw the line when the action or attack is meant to send a message to our government? Mr. McVeigh directed his attack on our government, yet we aren't paying victims this large amount of money. I am truely sorry for your loss, however we have to protect ourselves from bailing everyone out of their problems. Why does the family of a firefighter seek: $250,000 on 9/10, but more on 9/11? I feel for these families the most. Killed in the line of duty to save other people is the greatest sacrifice of all. However, the memory of the victims that these firefighters were there to save should not be tarnished by their survivors. Stop looking to others for accountability. Please take what you have...... and be thankful. ***DOJ*** Please decide not to increase the benefits provided by this bill. Show the country that everyone is important, and refuse to place a higher pricetag on life on 9/11 then on any other day in history.
