Yes, I understand this. I understand it because I have never let any
newspapers or newscasts manipulate my thinking. When the terrible
catastrophe happened in the States I did watch (it was discussed in
the office)and when the news of the Trade centers bombed showed this
over and over again I felt like I had become a voyeur to horror. I
thought right then that famous movies have been made to entertain the
people of today showing the very things that happened on the 11th. And
how people flock to see those films. Now it has literally hit home.
Does anyone think that such violent horror flicks in the theatres will
ever be made again after this? After thousands of real people lost
their lives? And countless thousands lose theirs all over the world in
countries where war never seems to stop?
The dead are under only one flag.
Think about it. And.......think for yourself.
In grief I
Am
