Amos, a candied butt.... hmmm, sounds interesting.

I have only twice ever bought at Grabbucks, and then only because the philistine I was with cares not a jot or tittle for the rest of the world, but does rather like their hot chocolate. I was stunned at the price of 2 chocolates and one piece of cake, which equated the price of *1 CD, *3.5 Happy meals *1 main course lunch at a Harvester Inn, *2 main meals and one pint at a Wetherspoons' inn (pub chain in the UK) or a paperback book.

As for the continued twitchiness about the WTC, why is the same twitchiness not extended to Hiroshima/Nagasaki, which killed or injured far more people, to both World Wars, same again; or to any one of the other atrocities people have committed upon each other in the name of religion or freedom.

Yes, I know lots of people died there, and it was a calamity of epic proportions, but as long as they keep sanctifying the remains, the scar will not heal.

Would they be so twitchy if it had been those two towers in (insert name of Middle Asian country with two large towers full of bankers), as seen in 'Entrapment'? I think not.

It was a truly horrible thing and nothing will make it better. But life has to continue, and this kind of sanctification will only warp and twist the memory of those who were involved. Life goes on, get over it.
