Earlier today I was informed that I would be working at Chase Tower on Monday and Tuesday. Later it dawned upon me that on 9/11 (Monday) I would be working in the tallest building west of the Mississippi. Tha......rilling! Ah well.......I'm a child of the Cold War, I was well schooled in how to put my head between my legs and kiss my ass goodbye. We called it "Duck and Cover". It all likelihood 9/11 will pass just like any other day and the only trouble I will find will be for not kissing the boss' ass. (I'm a firm believer that ones own hind end leaves less of a crappy aftertaste and fewer emotional scars) I too recommend flying the flag on 9/11. Not so much for patriotism's sake, but as an act of defiance! I want to tell the world that no matter who the president is, no matter who the enemy is, we will spit in your eye if you think to harm us. You might knock us down, but there is no way you can make us stay down. And our greatest strength, absolutely the source of our greatness, is that while you may be our enemy today, you can be our friend tomorrow. And if you doubt that, then look through the history books at all who were our enemies in the past and see who are our allies today. We are not better than you, we just operate under a better system, and you'd better believe we believe in all those pretty words we repeat with great frequency. Everyone is born equal, with inalienable rights, and you don't kiss the butt of Kings or Dukes because the rich and powerful are an immoral lot, likely to be carriers of STDs and nobody wants to get AIDS. So fly your flag proudly and keep your lips out of dark places (at least until that pharmaceutical breakthrough) and pray that Osama's ilk have not looked west of the Mississippi.....at least for my sake.<G> xponent Kissassins Maru rob _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
