This one is superb.<BR/><BR/>OM, I agree. Of course, he was too young to fathom what was going on. But he still does say what he thinks. He's quite a sage for an 11-year-old.wakeupandsmellthecoffeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04602735058278146250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3462787118668544142.post-82194883028788402812007-06-29T10:03:00.000+01:002007-06-29T10:03:00.000+01:00It was moving but I loved your son's laughter, too...It was moving but I loved your son's laughter, too.

The American underbelly of Americana, Mao II's prefiguring of the terror threat, the scope and splintering of America in Underworld, with the emblematic twin towers on its cover. I am a huge fan.Stay at home dadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07943310521217164291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3462787118668544142.post-59118091130656809202007-06-28T19:34:00.000+01:002007-06-28T19:34:00.000+01:00You are right that site is disturbing, but that ph...You are right that site is disturbing, but that photo of the twin towers is just so beautiful! I really liked what you said about terroists having achieved their objective wherever there is terror, they have won. Very true but I had not thought about it like that.DJ Kirkbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08481107164497582398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3462787118668544142.post-43521309490271671942007-06-28T12:25:00.000+01:002007-06-28T12:25:00.000+01:00Thank you, Lady M.

We all thought it was an elaborate hoax at first - unbelievable. There was a sense of foreboding as if the dark storm was brewing. I remember being afraid - guess I still am.Queen Vixenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06362210631858652847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3462787118668544142.post-29547444133774972092007-06-27T21:43:00.000+01:002007-06-27T21:43:00.000+01:00Very well said my dear, very touching and heartfel...Very well said my dear, very touching and heartfelt.

My dh works for an airline whose planes were involved and I too worked in that industry for 13 years. Airline employees are heavily emotionally impacted any time a crash occurs; a bit like when a medical team loses a patient after trying to save their life. But 9/11, its impact was far beyond that. I was so glad that day that my dd was too young to understand it. And yet I knew it was only a matter of time before she learned how evil hearted people can be.<BR/><BR/>The book sounds good. I'll have to take a look-see the next time I'm at B&N. <BR/>Blessings,<BR/>~Toni~Tonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10318409820949377086noreply@blogger.com
