Monday, March 18, 2002 11:53 AM Not all life is valuable says Justice Department Hi folks, I am writing you to tell you how abhorent it is that you are treating the survivors of gays and lesbians killed in WTC on 9/11 as non-people. Your flagrant hypocrasy is astounding. Gays and lesbians survivors will only get what their individual states rights allow from the 9/11 funds. How very Jim Crow of you! Very backward, bigoted and critical. Nice stance for the Department of Justice. I want an explanation of why illegal aliens, ILLEGAL ALIENS, are getting benefits for their survivors, but gays and lesbians are being treated as inferior beings and undeserving of the dignity given to those whom died in the WTC terrorist attacks. How dare you? Can you please describe what you call deserving individuals? The people that hit the roof of the Marriot Hotel tryng to escape the flames? The people that were crushed when the buildings collapsed? The people that fought the terrorists on the flight headed to Washington DC and crashed the plane rather than having hundreds, perhaps thousands, of other people die? Whom? You are disgracing the souls of those who died at WTC and those whom died in the planes. There are two gay men you obviously think were wastes of human life. They are &nbsp (of the FDNY) whom died giving last rights to the dead firemen at ground zero and the gay rugby player who helped overrun the terrorists on the flight to DC. Obviously, the value of life depends on whom makes the decision of whom is worthy. In my book, you all are not worthy. But you will be judged by another book that you obviously used to divide the funds, the Holy Bible. Remember the line, judge not lest ye be judged? I hope so, because you are and will be. I just pray no one in your family, or immediate friends die like the people in WTC. One of my best friends from Grad School died in the collapse. I know you don't care. You've proven where you loyalties are. Spitting on the souls of the dead. God save your souls.
