Excellent piece today in the Washington Post about the Pentagon Memorial dedication that began construction in 2006, by architects Julie Beckman and Keith Kaseman, the memorial will have 184 benches one for everybody who lost their lives in the attacks on 9/11, each bench is over a small reflecting pool that will glow from within at night.
This memorial sounds like it is very tasteful and has done well to memorialize all the people we as a country lost in the heinous attacks of 9/11. So today whether you are backing the John McCain and Sarah Palin ticket or the Barack Obama and Joe Biden ticket lets take a break from all of partisanism that is affecting the country today, because when the hijackers on those planes took over and crashed them, they were not crashing them because the people were Democrats or Republicans, but they were crashing the planes because the people on them were Americans and in the end that is all that matters.

I completely agree with taking a break from all the "partisanism that if affecting the country today," but not just for one day.
I think that politics are so mundane and the back-and-forth between party views is crazy. Why can't we all just agree on an issue? Or compromise? In the end, laws are made to benefit ALL Americans, no matter what party they are associated with.
In a history class I took a few semesters ago, I learned that George Washington warned Americans not to divide into political parties; it's the worst thing we can do, and I think that is was.
