Over the past few days we've all been stunned over the acts of terrorism that have taken place. Posts about the tragedies even appeared on this list -- a list normally fairly strict about off-topic posts. I guess I'm as stunned as everyone else! (Perhaps more so since I live in New York and saw the towers burning -- from a distance, luckily.) As we wind down posting about the tragedies of the 11th and return to posting about ferrets [hint, hint], I'd like to suggest we celebrate. Huh? Celebrate??? Yes!... celebrate the concern of people everywhere. This list is such a perfect example of people helping each other worldwide I thought it tied in rather nicely to the worldwide concern being shown to the victims of the terrorism. On the FML we put aside feelings of racism and work toward a common goal. I hope one day we practice this everwhere. Here is a URL pointing to touching pictures of people around the world showing concern over the events of the last few days. No, it's not ferret related, but I hope it reminds us how much we have to celebrate and moves us to do a better job than ever sharing our lives with the lives of our 2 and 4 legged friends. http://www.industrial.mu/world/ http://www.dd.org/world-mourns/ [mirror] http://www.shodor.org/world-mourns/index.shtml [mirror] Respectfully, Bill [Posted in FML issue 3541]
