Bong, I appreciate your comments. Yours were maybe just as: "Inappropriate. Ineffectual. In poor taste. Weak analogy."
As everyone else's. Slight irony.

I look at TC as being a community without borders.

Hi! I live in a different country! I have lotsa love to give to all of you :)

I understand the need to remember horrible events that have taken place in the past, but all this country specific stuff makes me want a mai tai at 10 in the morning. Maybe that's not such a bad thing.

Don't get me wrong, you have my support. My Husband spent 8 months on a hot ship in the Gulf of Oman working with the US Navy and I know there's more to come.

It's kind of true, the old "many have been touched"(by 9/11) line. I just don't feel that this is the right place for it. Beyond a simple post reminding others to 'remember' that is.

Crap happens all over the world, everyone knows that. I guess it's all relative. We find this event to be beyond horrendous, when for decades other countries have had to deal with genocide, torture, murder, hangings, bombings, the list goes on. Can you imagine living in those conditions? I can't. It frightens me to think about it.

I guess, for me, this crosses the border(ha, get it?) when it comes to political talk.

So I'll be quiet now, and think to myself about how I hope all of this mess isn't resolved with a huge war. I mean bigger than it already is.

Anyone who has a problem with this post can just buy me a drink at the Hukilau and I'll forget allll about it. SO THERE! :wink:
