Your Comments: "Lets pray for all who lost loved ones and take this as a wonderful
opportunity to tell those important in our lives how much we love them..."
- Cousin Ron *the village
squeezer* Reaction 1: To quote Scarface, as delivered by Andy Deo, "Say hello to
my little friend..." "The human race
is a child. Perhaps someday, when it is a rational adult, humanity will no
longer feel the need to do these sort of things to itself." "I didn't know
what to do, I couldn't go out and cold call and try to sell Canon on a day
like this. All I wanted to do was go grab my kid out of school and
head for the mountains. I picked up my son from daycare and told him
to tell all of his friends to tell their parents to meet at the park at 7:30 to light candles talk and pray as a group. People started
calling more people and we had a pretty large turn out. I wasn't prepared
for the clash of emotions and opinions and a fight almost broke out. Then I just gently grabbed both of their arms and asked
them and everyone else for a moment of silence and then we can all take turns praying for all that is needed and hoped for the people on the east
coast. At the end we all sang God Bless America and some of us were crying
and hugging..." "Yes I am okay.
Still don't know who was in the towers yet. I am very, very
sad. I am here and can see the billowing clouds. Sh**, it's just
awful. Pray and let's raise the vibration on this earth once and for
all." "I feel like I am pregnant!
Nauseous - Moody - Sad - Bitter - Angry - Crying Spells. I don't think I am pregnant!" "It makes us realize how important it is to treasure ALL the beauty in our
lives including our loved ones, friends, family, the fresh air we breathe,
the oceans we enjoy, and the list goes on... We have so much so we tend to minimize and take for granted.
Things like our safety and freedom." "These bastards and others like them think
we're lazy, fat, sloppy, easy-going goofs. That's an unfortunate image that comes of feeling free and easy
about the world we live in. They need to be reminded that when you attack
Americans, we tend to fight back like a cornered Lion, we will utterly destroy any attacker. All you need to do is look back on our history. We
were the first and so far, only country in the world to use nuclear weapons
in anger, a horrific idea, nowadays and back then as well. But we used it
anyway. Only had two of them in the whole world and we used them anyway. We did it because we had a War to win. Does that tell you something about
American Resolve?" "I don't want my daughter, or yours, or anyone else's to grow up with the racism of people and hate in her heart. But how do you explain to a 5 year old that 'the bad people' did it because they thought that if they killed lots of people and died
along with their victims that they would get 72 virgins in Heaven? It doesn't make sense now, and it probably never will. So, I pose to you one last thought
(question): Can we make all this go away without hurting too many more people?" "It seems completely inadequate to say that I'm
relieved and thankful that my family in New York and friends in D.C. are alive and well. I don't know if
things will ever be back to "normal" (especially with those two magnificent Towers erased from existence and
all the lives they represented lost); I look forward to the day when the bomb threats stop (there were 90
reported in New York on Thursday--thankfully all were hoaxes) and my cousin and her family can fly home for
a visit. My thoughts are with those who lost their loved ones. They will never be forgotten." |
