Quite possibly not a subject for further conversation other than to say that perhaps we've found at least one boundary?

Possibly, because I, for one, still have the vision of those planes smashing into the twin towers seared into my brain.
I can still see the people jumping/falling from incredible heights to the street.
I can still hear the broadcasts, I can still see the firemen/policemen/civilians rushing into the buildings, knowing they would collapse soon, but hoping to save anyone that they could.
I can still hear some of the phone conversations from those in the towers before they collapsed.
I can still feel the shock, and see the shock and horror on the faces of those in New York.
I can still see the towers finally falling, and I can hear the screams in my head.
And I still feel an undying hatred for those who perpetrated this horrendous, senseless atrocity.
Anyone who feels 9-11 is a venue for jokes just needs a reality check.
