for those who died in the 9/11 attack on the WTC? Have you prayed for those brave people who died trying to save others and sacrificed themselves?

Jimmy,
I was crying at 8:46 when the neighborhood had the first of six moments of silence and ringing of bells. One for each of the four plane crashes and both tower collapses. I snuffed it up and thought of the 2 kids in my daughter's class who lost their fireman father.
What are the moments of silence like for them?

My cousin died in the towers on 9/11. His brother stopped by my office today. When I started to ask about today he started to cry and just left. I had to close my office door for a few minutes after that. Then my wife had Oprha on the TV when I walked thru the door after work. She was talking with familys of the victims. You would not last 5 minutes listening to them and not shed a tear. We all need to remember.

Several times in fact.
Lest we forget: it was ignorance and hate that allowed the criminals that brought this pain to our home and the world.
Let us, also, know that education and love will go very far in canceling out that hate and ignorance.
May the master of mankind, whatever name you call that master, grant us all the peace that only love can bring.
Best,
John

John,
Whose ingnorance and hate are you referring to? I hope that you are not implying that we in the USA are somehow responsible for the 9/11 attacks. I await your prevaricating reply.
Phil

Our chuch had a service today which included members of the NYFD. We have what's considered to be the best 9/11 memorial in the State with a cross made from one of the WTC steel beams.

Love and education will get you no where with these people...an eye for an eye.

I USED to think the same way. Now I realize no amount education can help that culture, and moderates are not going to help us. I hate to tell you, but like a good Bolshevik you are trying to make a thoroughbred out of a donkey, not possible!

PhilMurphy:
It is the ignorance and hate of those that consider us an enemy. That should be obvious to any reader of my post.
I find it exceedingly strange that this is the third BBS that you have come on to attack me. Attacks that come from nothing but my desire to live and let live.
As to my "prevaricating reply" (quote from your post) I suppose that I must reply as you would wish to see me do.
I think that you are one of the finest men that has graced a public forum. You never fail to bring joy to all that read your thoughts, as posted.
May our youth take you as an example to guide their lives and may those who live in ignorance fear your wrath.
Best,
John
