I clicked on the link and signed. It is a well-written petition. Someone had sent me the Auden poem, I didn't see your thread with it, but I was on overloaded yesterday and didn't see many threads at all. It is an incredibly beautiful and appropriate poem.

I am sending the petition link out to others by email.

My daughters found out this morning that someone they went to school with is missing from the WTC. It touches everywhere. Now, I am wondering about another friend of theirs who works in NYC. I don't think she had reason to be near there, but I'll need to make a phone call or two before I feel assured.
