I know right now that many people are scared, angry or hurt, but letting your emotions get the best of you won't help the situation. Please try to think positive: we are a nation that has faced down great threats, and this is another one we will overcome. I personally am scared, angry and hurt. I was lucky: no one I know of so far has been killed by this event but people I know were in situations where they could've been hurt (the closest was a friend of mine just returned from NYC last night and had his picture taken in front of the world trade center the day before). But in spite of all this I know that we will persevere and our way of life will continue on. Be strong. I am going to bed for the night, but if anyone feels the need for some type of support feel free to e-mail me at Asylum60@hotmail.com. Dan
