How long after 9/11 do we have to wait before we stop consulting the families of victims of a tragedy what we should do on policy grounds.

The 9/11 families had a fundamental right to not be violently deprived of their families. That right was violated, and it can’t be un-violated. I grieve for their loss, but honestly, I don’t give a flying fuck what they think about the location of mosques, the war, or any other issue.

They represent an infinitesimally small portion of the population. Why do they occupy such a pedestal?
