However for some reason I find it dangerous when government forces mandatory respects for something no matter how tragic it was. Yes-I know I probably come off as a major asshole here. But this-this just isn't a good idea. It may seem innocent, but it isn't. It could bring about unwanted consequences. I know I'm probably just being a snowflake, but whatever you can think that.

EDIT: Ah shit I mean to post this in News!

Just by itself I see no problem with it. I suppose if I were a teacher it might seem like yet another thing I had to obey, and that would be annoying maybe, but a moment of silence for a tragedy makes sense.

The trouble is that 9-11 has been used as an excuse to take away American's civil liberties and justify endless war abroad. To the extent that the new mandate is a way to extend the fear as something they can exploit, that's too bad.
