... what they really mean is: “Never forgive. Never heal. Never stop being afraid. Never stop hating.”
http://sogoddamn.tumblr.com/post/1103822777/never-forget ( -or- http://j.mp/ai2xZ2 ) It's good to remember. I flew my American Flag outside my house this morning. I've played the events of that day over in my mind several times today already; like many Fox folk, I was in San Diego for DevCon when it happened, and I spent the next week trying to get back home across the continent to be with my family. I grew up close enough to NYC that I watched the Twin Towers slowly growing as they were built back in the '60s. In my early days as a consultant, I interviewed for a Fox gig with American Express that would have had me working on floor 30-something of the South Tower (never got it!). The attacks hit me very hard emotionally; after the first few times I couldn't bring myself to watch the replays of the planes flying into the towers and their eventual collapse. But it's also good to heal. It's good to remember that, while there are still some truly evil people in the world, the overwhelming percentage of people of every country and every religion are good, decent people, and instead of clinging to simplistic labels and staying afraid, we should be focusing on banding together with those who stand for peace in order to make this world a happier, saner place. We should actively speak out against politicians who try to win elections by keeping the voters afraid by using Muslims as targets for their venom. We would do well to remember this, too: God Angrily Clarifies the "Don't Kill" Rule http://j.mp/b05Crs "I don't care how holy somebody claims to be," God said. "If a person tells you it's My will that they kill someone, they're wrong. Got it? I don't care what religion you are, or who you think your enemy is, here it is one more time: No killing, in My name or anyone else's, ever again." -- Ed Leafe _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
