RE: Life: is that really OT?

!! Please do not post Off Topic to this List !!

Sorry, should have let that one go but, i know people who were on the planes and in the buildings (being a DBA it really is a small world), and i am tired of
just letting this go on, & on while we worrie about upsetting the world while the
world takes pot shots at us and we still do nothing, maybe the innocent people who live in "where ever" is helping these terrorists should put pressure on their
government to change, if not then maybe they really do support their actions. There i go again, just have to quit reading these posts.
