Friday, December 21, 2001 12:23 PM Greif Turning To Greed / Generosity Turning To Anger $1.65 Million, Taxfree is more than adequate. Plus the resulting insurance payouts and other donations that these families will receive is generous and will substain them. What would have happened or will happen to the rest of our citizens if these attacks had continued or will continue in the future? Would / Will the country be able to be so generous? This was an act of war and was not due to anything done directley by the people of our goverment. What are the families of the soldiers that are maimed or killed in this conflict going to receive? I fear not much. What are the people that serve in the reserves that have been called up for months of duty away from their familes and employment going to receive? Each family should receive the exact same amount regardless of the number of dependents. One lump sum. Maybe we can be generous and help these people get on with their lives, but we don't owe them a lifestyle of unquestioned wealth for the rest of their lives. I really question why should any parents receive any money from a tragedy like this unless the children were contributing directly to their support. Any payments should be for the support of dependents and spouses of the victimns. Most Americans can only dream about Big Jobs With Big Bucks on Wall Street. Most Americans when tragedy strikes only receive the "well wishes of friends," and then have to get on with their lives the best that they can. Further, I hope the goverment does not allow vindictive survivors with unbridled greif, hatred, and greed destroy the Airline Industry. The attack of September 11, 2001 was an act of terrorism and war and should be treated as such. I do feel for the survivors, because I am of an age now where I have lost family members myself and know what a void is created in ones life. But, the American citizens do not owe them a life free from want and work. Thank you.
