Charlie, This community is a mixed race, mixed ethics group. we all have different opinions, some definately not the same as mine, but usually live and let live.......
What happened on the 11th September was a terrible day for society as we know it, this stirred up a whole host of emotions, and reactions which the people who voiced them may not have believed they could feel. As the dust settles, people are more asking how? why? and what do we do now? Most of us realise that to do nothing is allowing the perpetrators victory, to retalliate is lowering ourselves to their level.....
There was some bickering, possibly some trolling and flaming, maybe some harsh words, But I for one feel that the freedom of expression has helped me to understand that I am not alone in feeling anger, not alone in feeling pain, not alone in wanting revenge, not alone in wanting no revenge, not alone in wanting peace. I consider all at mudcat as friends, whether they have the same views as me or not, I hope you will return and enjoy the friendship most people on this site ofeer, ignore the few, enjoy the many - if we all used this policy in life, what a better world we could start to make
God (whoever or whatever) Bless
