Seriously, NYC, and to some extent the U.S. has held onto 9/11 pain in such a fashion that it's petrified into a form of indignation and self-righteousness. Yes, a lot of people died, but more people die every day from smoking.
It's the same form of indignation that galvanizes black people into saying "That's our word." when someone drops the N bomb (no one can own a word).
Holding onto pain like that kills you on the inside. It never gets challenged because no one has the gumption to tell someone to get over it, so it festers.
For example, look at the WTC site. It's festering. Those were hard times, but it's time to move on, NYC. That was 8 years ago.
