Disrespectful

Doesn't the Mayor look dignified?

Yesterday morning on the 911 anniversary, I listened to the names of the victims that perished 12 years ago being read at the ceremony that was presented in New York City at Ground Zero.  I watched as the family members and friends shared their loved one's names.  As their special someone's name was spoken, they were allowed to say some personal words about how much they missed that person and how they loved them.  It was very moving.      

At one point during the reading of the names, the camera captured New York City's MAYOR MICHAEL BLOOMBERG standing in the crowd chit chatting and laughing with cohorts as the names are being spoken.

Was this DISRESPECTFUL?  Gosh, I wish somebody had snapped a still picture of him talking during the ceremony.  He looked like a little kid that needed to be told be quiet.  Perhaps somebody did.  

At another time, New York's GOVERNOR ANDREW CUOMO was enthusiastically talking to his cohorts while the names are being shared.  Shouldn't you be quiet and out of respect to the dead listen for one moment to their names being said?  Don't you know better?  This day will come and go and off you'll go to more important matters?  

I believe their behavior was very disrespectful.  Turned my stomach.  Here are the loved ones of the victims sharing the names of those that perished.  Lost their lives that fateful day and the GOVERNOR is chatting about....oh, i don't know....perhaps the weather.  Maybe what he is going to have for Dinner that evening.  Where's the respect?   

MAYOR BLOOMBERG left the ceremony early smiling as his muscle bound body guards surrounded his small frame.  Walking and waving good-bye, he looked very small and I question his sincerity as he did not stay for the entire ceremony.  The Mayor.  The Mayor of New York City.  IMO...Small in stature and small in character.

I know that there was a time in AMERICAN History when leading politicians were looked down upon by the public if they took mistresses while in public office.  GOVERNOR CUOMO lives with his girlfriend SANDRA LEE, the television semi-homemade guru.  They have no shame.   The two share a house in CHAPPAQUA, NEW YORK.  

I grew up in a time where even the heathens and pagans knew they were to marry and not live together out of wedlock.  What has happened to our dignity and respect toward ourselves and one another?  Jump the broomstick for heaven's sakes.    

...keep it simple.
