Papaw, you were extremely "gutsy" to let this post/ thread... whatever you call it, ride. I think folks acted fairly well, considering the emotions of the event. I learned a few things from this post. Persons were effected throughout the world, not just in the usa. Persons came together, and are still joining together in an event that was meant to "split the world apart." I've also learned that religions have become defined, affirmed, or isolated. I can't comment on any of that... nor would it be my job to do so..... even if I am the resident rambler!.
Emotions run high over this event.... there's no way that they could not. As I've said before--- sometimes thankful and sometimes not, ECTs wiped out my memory of that day. I'm sure if I had experienced it like the rest of the world had, I could have all sorts of things to say. But, even for this rambler, silence is sometimes a good thing (although, you see ME still writing!!)
Papaw, it's a brave thing you did to let folks talk here. I think it worked out well
cheers, bird
