Pets have it pretty good. They get to be kids forever.

Well it’s finally here. It’s been ten years. A decade to the minute. Every second that ticks passed this morning and day we re-feel what we were feeling on 9/11/01. I think it’s only fitting that this ten year anniversary should fall on a Sunday, don’t you? I have a VHS tape I started recording the moment after my mother-in-law called to tell my wife and I to turn on the news. “Which channel?” I asked her. She didn’t answer. Her silence obvious as soon as the TV fuzz cleared. I’ve never watched that tape I recorded. Probably never will. I’m just going to hang on to it.

This past August in Albuquerque, New Mexico I happily witnessed my young niece Kelly get married to a handsome (and very tall) young man, Nathan. I am so happy for them both. It was the joy of my summer to see them wed. Ten years ago, a week before 9/11, Kelly’s mother, Charlotte Nadine Cole, was brutally attacked and murdered in a restaurant parking lot. A week later when the morning of 9/11 rolled around my family and I were already numb with shock and terror.

I remember asking my mother on that 9/11, “Can you believe what’s happening in New York?” Her response was that she just couldn’t deal with that right now. She’d just lost a sister a week prior. Too much. Just too much. I also vividly recall during that week of national mourning and anger that followed 9/11, a very prominent news anchor saying his great fear was that 9/11 would become “banal.” His exact word. A catch-all-phrase of sorts for galvanizing patriotism.

Ten years later my fear is his fear. A tragedy is not an opportunity for marshaling momentum towards an agenda. It’s a tragedy. I don’t need advertisers attempting to outdo each other in respectful tributes. I don’t need CG robots blasting off CG footballs with a reminder about a special synchronized moment of silence for all 9/11 victims coming up at half time. I don’t need to have how I should be feeling spelled out for me in an amalgam of NYPD and NYFD helmets.

We’re not dull. We’re not blunt. In short advertisers and TV networks — we get it. We’re not forgetting. It really hurts. A lot. Blatant attempts to be the loudest non-forgetter is — well — banal.

How dare anyone out there make fun of George after all he has been through.!

He lost his aunt (or at least Luke did), he went through a divorce (where his ex was awarded 50% of all profits derived from future Star Wars sequels — but not prequels). He had two kids (I think one’s adopted and does MMA for chicks).

His wife turned out to be a user, a cheater, and now he’s going through a custody battle (his kids are all grown now, actually). All you people care about is….. movies and making money off of him.

HE’S A HUMAN! (ah! ooh! not a Rodian!) What you don’t realize is that George is making you all this money and all you do is write a bunch of crap about him (how much money is he making you, Rick McCallum?!?! How much?!?!).

He hasn’t performed on stage in years (at least not since his appearance on Robot Chicken). His song is called the “Imperial March” for a reason because all you people want is MORE! MORE-MORE, MORE: MORE!.

LEAVE HIM ALONE! You are lucky he even performed for you BASTARDS!
LEAVE GEORGE ALONE!…..Please.

Steven Spielberg talked about professionalism and said if George was a professional he would’ve pulled it off no matter what.

Speaking of professionalism, when is it professional to publicly bash someone who is going through a hard time (Red Tails, his Tuskegee Airmen flick hits theaters in 2012 — hey at least it’s not Howard the Duck 2).

Leave George Alone Please…. !
Leave George Lucas alone!…right now!….I mean it.!

Anyone that has a problem with him you deal with me, because he is not well right now.

LEAVE HIM ALONE!

You can’t have “equally” without “all.”
