I like sar, have been numb. Lost in my own world of confusion and obsucurity. We, I think, maybe, all, perhaps, know the U S of A is giant and great and beautiful. We also know there is always some one out there somewhere who wants to pick a fight. Someone who doesnt have what we have, that wants what we have or thinks that we should be made to have what they have.
Is it all about oil? is it all about money?
The candles I lit were made from parafin, a petrolium product.mouse in the cupboard
susan c> My Northern Virginia community held a candle light service on the court house grounds tonight. Guest speaker was a neighbor who barely escaped certain death last Tuesday (he works in the Pentagon and was less than 100 yds. from where the airplane hit). He lost it during his recitation of the facts. It was extremely emotional for the crowd.
> I am rather shocked at Sar's comments that she feels nothing regarding the unprovoked attack of our country and it's aftermath. Is this because of the geographical distance between most of the country's population and the sites of the destruction? I should hope not; this is fuck-you to the entire country. It affects us all.
> As far as the "exploitative" nature of our government, the US is the largest contributor of food to Afganistan. I can't imagine how that can be constued as exploitative.
