LISTENER POLL - Should September 11th be a National Holiday?

Yesterday, in anticipation for our September 11th broadcast, I setup an online poll via Twitter to ask our listeners if they thought 9-11 should be a national holiday.  The results were pretty surprising.

This is something our listeners will email us about from time to time - "Why don't we get the day off for 9-11?" 

Granted,  not all of our listeners want September 11th to be a national holiday  (as is evident from the results of yesterday's online poll - see below).  Many of  our listeners who voted no followed up their vote with a comment about how they feel it should just be a day of remembrance, like Pearl  Harbor Day.

Even still, 50% of the people who took the poll  said it should be a national holiday... Is it possible that the 50% who  voted yes just wanted to get the day off from work?  While I don't  personally think it should be a national holiday, I can't blame anyone  for trying to get a day off.  

Anyway: like I said, it's a perfect split - 50% said yes, 50% no.
