Its all about money



After reading what some of the families of the victims are asking
for - I am saddened and sickened for the actually person that died.

Every day we walk out into this world and place ourselves, our
children and our families in potential danger as we do not know the safety in
our own country. As sad and hurt I feel and most americans I think feel
about September 11th and the many losses and pain of so many people - this
should not be remembered by remaining family members of victims "making money
off of their loved ones death"............

As an American I feel I would be willing to help Victims family to
some extent, but not to the tune of $250,000 to 1.6 Million per
family..........Come on.........most familys would never see that kind of
money in one lump sum, when their loved one was alive.
This was a tragedy that happened, NO ONE in America was at fault - and I am
not sure why WE are to pay for this...........

I have lost family members as well, to tragedy, example my daughter in
a car accident (in which no money was given to me) she was under 1 year
old.......and lost other members due to other things, it is sad, but I have
realized the hurt will last forever, but it is LIFE and if I choose to WALK
OUT THE DOOR, IN THE MORNING, I am taking a chance on LIFE I cant ask
American to PAY for What I choose to Do with my Freedom...........

The people are dead and the living left behind do not deserve an
opportunity to become Millionaires because of the dead............Some
Reasonable money given to the families children in a fund till they are 18 is
fine, but the spouse needs to do what all people have to do if one spouse
dies - collect Life Insurance if there was some, collect their social
security and get a job themselves and go on in life...........we all have had
to do this and the death of our LOVED ONES WHERE just as SPECIAL, to us.

This is life and I dont feel I need to pay - instead I will "Pray"
as I do every day for these families I dont know....
