These e-mails have been organized here by date. September 11 Email September 11 Email: Body The basic content, as unstructured text; sometimes containing a signature block at the end. Tuesday, January 29, 2002 12:09 PM Victim Compensation Whatever you do is overly generous! I believe that families who want or even expect (common today!) monetary compensation upon the death of loved ones should be responsible enough to fund life insurance themselves. I am not responsible for paying taxes so that the independent mother of an independent daughter who has been killed gets money her own daughter would never have given her. Millions of people all over the world survive and can flourish after the loss of a family member, even the wage earner, by the remaining spouse entering the workforce, relying on family and church, and simply dealing with life as responsible and innovative adults. And I am sick of we Americans acting like victims all the time! This is so unlike our American origins, where we were self-sufficient, hardworking and accepted accidents or acts against us as part of the fabric of life and its uncertainty. Please don't contribute to this victimization mentality. We will only become less because of it!!
