Banksy Pushes the Envelope, Talks about 9/11
I don't have much to say to introduce this blog post this morning because I'm speechless. I just about fell off my chair when I read this, this morning. Banksy posted his daily piece today accompanied by an article he wrote. Today’s piece was going "to be an op-ed column in the New York Times."

As a newly minted American, I have learned over the years there are some topics you just don't bring up in a negative light. One of those topics is 9/11. 9/11 for the US is a wound that is still slowly healing. That wound is like an angry bear. If you wouldn't poke an angry bear, you also shouldn't reopen a wound. I'm all for freedom of speech, but as someone who has family in NYC, this piece hit a nerve.
Oh...If you're still interested, this is the piece he shared today:
