We all realize how terrible the events of 9-11 were. I don't doubt for one second that tens of thousands of families have been affected forever. But why are the victims getting 1.5 million bucks? As heinous as the crimes were that day, this money won't bring back the dead. And the loss of their loved one is no greater than the loss of loved ones across the country each and every day (at least not at the individual, personel level). So why must our government, no, why must WE pay a dangerously high amount to the victims' families? It may "feel good" now, but there is no justification for ANY money, nevermind $ 1.5MM, which many are actually complaining about as being too little.
