Monday, January 07, 2002 7:51 PM I JUST DON'T BELIEVE IT! AFTER READING YOUR ARTICLE ON THE WTC VICTIMS RESTITUTION LAWS I JUST HAD TO PUT IN MY TWO CENTS. BEING A MOTHER OF TWO MYSELF AND RAISING THEM ALONE INTO THE GREAT ADULTS THEY ARE TODAY I TRULY DO NOT UNDERSTAND THIS EXTREMELY LARGE AND UNFOUNDED RESTITUTION AMOUNT FOR THE SURVIVOR OF THE VICTIMS THE WTC. I WILL BE THE FIRST ONE TO SAY HOW SORRY AND UNBELIEVABLE THIS CATASTROPHE IS NOT JUST TO THEM BUT TO ALL AMERICANS AND FELLOW HUMAN BEINGS ON THIS EARTH. ALBEIT A GENEROUS OFFER OF SUCH A LARGE SUM OF MONEY FOR THE SURVIVING FAMILY MEMBERS IT SEEMS A BIT OUT OF LINE FOR THE REST OF AMERICA THAT LOST SOMEONE IN WW1, WW2, VIET NAM, CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENTS, HOLOCAUST VICTIM SURVIVORS ETC. I JUST DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY AMERICA IS SO RESPONSIBLE FOR THE TRAGEDY OF SEPT. 11 SURELY THESE PEOPLE NEED FINANCIAL HELP BUT DOES THE LIFE OF ONE OF THE VICTIMS IN THE WTC WARRANT MORE VALUE THEN THE LITTLE GIRL THAT WAS KILLED BY A DRUNK DRIVER? DO THE LIVES OF ALL THE SURVIVORS OF FIRES AND EARTHQUAKES, TORNADOES, HURRICANES, FLOODS AND MANY OTHER DISASTERS NOT WARRANT SOME FORM OF LIFE LONG FINANCIAL FREEDOM AS THE GOVERNMENT IS GIVING TO THE WTC SURVIVING FAMILY MEMBERS? WHAT ON GODS GREEN EARTH MAKES ALL AMERICANS, AMERICANS? WE ARE A NATION OF PRIVILEGE AND PRIDE, A NATION OF LOVE AND DEMOCRACY, BUT WE ARE NOT A NATION OF MAKING MILLIONAIRES OUT OF THE REMAINING DISASTER SURVIVORS. THE RESTITUTION FOR THE WTC FAMILIES IS WELL ABOVE AND BEYOND THE CALL OF DUTY TO ALLOW AMERICANS TO PUT MORE VALUE ON ONE DEAD AMERICAN THEN THE OTHER. I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION ALL AMERICANS WERE CREATED EQUAL, THEN WHY DO THESE PEOPLE DESERVE TO BECOME MILLIONAIRES MORE THEN ANY OTHER SURVIVING FAMILY MEMBER OF ANY OTHER DISASTER. YES, THESE FAMILIES NEED AND DESERVE HELP BUT DOESN'T ANY AMERICAN UNDER ANY DISASTER DESERVE THE SAME RESTITUTION'S? MY TAX DOLLARS DON'T EVEN PUT A DENT IN A SODA POP CAN BUT I HAVE TO SAY IF IT IS TO BE DONE FOR ONE IT SHOULD BE DONE FOR ALL, OR AREN'T WE STILL AMERICANS, AND AREN'T WE STILL EQUAL?
