I agree with what Everett had to say. It is too bad
America didn't show even a hint of this type of
patriotism before the attacks, but it is impressive to
see it now. 

I agree with the fact that all of these commercials
for patriotic CD's, stands at the supermarket with
flags, cups, plates, pencils, etc., and other
marketing schemes are a little disgusting. But, there
is demand for it, right? I know that ads can certainly
create a demand, but consumer demand is contributing
to the fact that we see new items for sale every week
and will until next July 4th and beyond. Also, I am
glad that some of these products are readily available
for those who want them, but I don't need to hear
representatives from different companies telling me
how great their company is for starting another relief
effort fund. Just do it without flashing your name all
over the screen!
