Wow.... I think that might be a little harsh considering the tone of
the post this is referring to. I think we are all worried about the
people and families involved. It would be an understatement to call
this a catastrophe. However, those buildings were targeted for a reason
and it's not being insensitive to consider the economic implications of
what has happened.
We're not just worried about how this will affect the number of toys we
can buy. Damage to the economy translates to loss of jobs. I don't
feel that it's insensitive to be concerned about this as well. There
are short-term and long-term implications and we need to consider them
all.
With that said, the economy will withstand and recover from whatever
happens today, but the damage to the families involved is irreparable.

Sorry Priscilla, but until "adults" realize that your own selfish, buy
what you want, do what makes you happy, your needs are alot more
important than anyone else's, immature, can't sacrifice my feelings
and
what I want to do is more important than any spouse or child,
attitudes
change, it ain't gonna happen.
But some of us still remain. :>

We're talking about rebuilding the economy? How about rebuilding
families
(if that can even be done??)
