Here is a quote provided by the Secretary-General of the National Spiritual Assembly of the United States to the Baha'is here. It is from the Baha'i Writings:
Let each one of God's loved ones center his attention on this, to be the Lord's mercy to man; to be the Lord's grace. Let him do some good to every person whose path he crosseth, and be of some benefit to him. Let him improve the character of each and all, and reorient the minds of men. In this way, the light of divine guidance will shine forth, and the blessings of God will cradle all mankind: for love is light no matter in what abode it dwelleth; and hate is darkness, no matter where it may make its nest. O friends of God! That the hidden Mystery may stand revealed, and the secret essence of all things may be disclosed, strive ye to banish that darkness for ever and ever.
Seems extremely applicable to the state of the country.

This seems especially appropriate. Also, the terrorists should have reflected upon this beforehand.

Article on terrorism firsts. Interesting that most of the firsts are Israeli not Palestinian.

Pretty good article on criticism of US involvement in peace between Israel and the Palestinians.

So... Bush may have been the target. Scary to think that these idiot terrorists almost made him a martyr. That is the LAST thing that this nation needed. Bush the Martyr.

Being stuck at work during the events yesterday, rumors and speculation were flying wildly as it was so difficult to get to any new web sites.

Lots of email from New York-based email lists.

One major difference between Clinton and Dubya... Clinton would have talked about how we all sympathize for the families of those who had to go through this. Dubya talked about recovery and revenge. Not sure which is better, but Dubya's initially feels better.

Some local schools are closed. It's not like they can discuss anything besides this stuff in NYC and DC.

Still amazed by the attack on the World Trade Center and Pentagon. It's incomprehensible that someone would dare to do this. I've seen dozens of messages from people who feel that those responsible should all die.

Most don't feel that a trial is good enough for those responsible. Just find out who did it and end all their lives.

Then there are those who are confused and in shock.

Those who are more rational point out all the things that the U.S. has done against terrorists. "It was only a matter of time." As though most U.S. citizens care? We have been hurt so we will hurt them back.

The last country to make this mistake were the Japanese. They didn't think we would be so pissed off as to take away their empire and drop weapons of mass destruction on their cities. I sincerely hope that the countries involved in this are prepared for this kind of retaliation.

Plane crashed into the Pentagon. Another 2 crashed the World Trade Center (as a diversion)? Imagine all the terrorist groups in the world better hide into their sewers for fear of U.S. retaliation.

The Graymatter software is not hard to install. It might make an interesting collaborative blog software setup. Of course, I know just a tad about Unix CGI installations, so for the newbie this might be an hour setup.

Lots of stuff on which to play catchup. Have some typos and misused words in the Interactive Map, need to get some stuff going on the Student Affairs web site, and help out Dicky on the Judicial Affairs site.

I was going to put up a number of blogs and sites I'd run across while here, only while ordering the Ghost in the Shell DVD Netscape crashed. All that work... lost.

Oh, well! Could not have been THAT important, right?

So here I am... still here in Valdosta... Could be away for the weekend, but I stayed to help out with some family emergencies that cropped up mid-week.

I feel good cause I got to help. Also feel bad cause I had to cancel plans. Here I am with errands to to run in a computer lab getting stuff to play D&D some time in the future.

Bad boy!

gg... California woman sues CD company over user-tracking technology.

About time... maybe if this was a bigger record, then it could be made into a class-action lawsuit?

Was getting kinda long there. Trying not to let it get too long... especially since I've got all that table structure going there. Okay, so it is a anal web design thing. I try to be a little curteous to my poor friends on 33K (masquerading as 56K).
