Six years is 240,000 car deaths, 150,000 known murders, close to 500,000 likely murdered or worse, who just vanished.

It is not about drinking, seat belts, car seats, guns, and bad government, it is just humans being human.

Clinton launched a cruise missile attack on Bin Lauden's camp, not an act of war but of an assassin, many were killed, our allies against the Russians.

They responded by striking the camps of those who struck them. Like it or not we live in a Global Village.

The Twin Towers were ugly, I was there when they were built, they were called the two milk cartons.

Bin Lauden won, airline passengers are frisked, our hard won protections of the people from government were overthrown, our wealth and army wasted in Iraq.

As we say, 9/11 was a tragedy, Katrina was a shame. &6 died in the flood, 1500 died because no one came with drinking water for a week. Where is the mourning for those killed by FEMA? Shooting and bombing is quick, dying of thirst and dehydration is a week of suffering.

The tragedy is in Washington.

Any kinds of tragedies really don't affect me a lot but I DO become sympathetic about them.
