The following is a letter to the editor that I submitted to the Richmond Times Dispatch on September 1, 2003. Editor, Times Dispatch: The second anniversary of Black Tuesday September 11, 2001 has people talking about how we should memorialize the day each year.  September 11 shouldn't become just another holiday where businesses are closed and the mail doesn't get delivered.  We must honor those men and women who died while they were rationally and fervently pursing that which they valued most (investing capital, protecting lives and property, etc.). It was not random that the terrorists chose the World Trade Center as a target.  The towers represented capitalism, which is the opposite of the terrorists’ philosophy of a primitive existence that holds death as an ideal.  Capitalism is the only system that truly frees Man's reasoning mind so that he can be productive and improve his life.  America is unique because it was founded on principles that make capitalism possible.  Therefore, each September 11, we should celebrate our production as well as those who have died while pursuing and protecting it. States should suspend their sales taxes, stores should have special sales, and businesses should launch new products. To truly celebrate what makes America different from those who wish to destroy us, we must stop being ashamed of profit and start being proud of production. -Bob Murphy. Richmond
