Thank you for reminding us what it's about.

Unfortunately it *is* a part of life. It just doesn't seem *right*, that's all. I think that's what you meant

sp = I'm not sure of the spelling
Oracle...I have to get out of this topic...can you lock it? It's about to spiral outta control. <-- :wink:
agreeded...ah never mind now
Yeah, people are expressing their points of view about a given problem, so let's lock this topic.
...talking about talibans... *sigh*
Thank you SCM and toonski for bringing some sanity back to this thread

Because it's always "innocent deaths" that people look at...it's never about how the survivors will go on. Many people died on 9/11, but a FAR greater percentage of people were crippled by that day, in one way or another. Those of us who survived 9/11 may have found worse fates than the ones who were slain. Fortunately, those of us who survived that day have the opportunity to move on from it and create a better life for ourselves. Many people affected by 9/11 are still dwelling on it and have yet to move on. Those of us who took advantage of the opportunity to learn from it are living better lives now.
I've been around death all my life. After awhile, it loses its punch.
There's no flaming, so there will be no locking yet. This thread is not breaking any forum rules.
but 20, 30 years from now it will probably be a point in time like the alamo or perl harbor. because people move on and we cant change the past only prevent it from happening again.
