RE: Terrorist attacks in the USA

My connection in all this...
 
Last Friday, I went with my girlfriend to an ice cream social at the school where she works. There, I met a parent of one of her former students.
Yesterday, that parent was in one of the WTC towers. He did get out after the first plane hit.
 
However, a friend of mine wasn't so lucky. Seven colleagues from his company were on one of the airliners from Boston. He also knew some people in the towers.
 
Somehow, this whole situation is hitting home with everyone, whether they knew someone directly involved in NYC or DC or not.
 
Times like this... all one can do is just go home, hug the family, and try to move on as best as possible, and give thanks and prayers to whichever higher spirit you choose.
 
I do like the one sentiment a caller to C-Span had yesterday... that as of yesterday, we're not Republicans, we're not Democrats, we're Americans.

interesting and it doesn't take as long.
