"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that."
— Martin Luther King Jr.
And I thank those who let me know I am not alone.

And I thank you!!!!!

Mel, I have to speak honestly....
You see, all I can think about are all those innocent people who perished on 9/11. Their agonizing fear and confusion of whether or not to burn to death or jump out of a window. I think of the men and women who tried to rescue these people, who also lost their lives. And I also think of the families and friends who had to endure such a devastating tragedy in losing their loved ones on that day.
X ya, dear lady.
I'm here with you.
A message that lasts for ever. This is always the answer to questions of war and enmity.
Thank you Mel for this timely reminder of a great truth.
I hurt deeply for 9-11, and always will. I'm a NY gal, born and raised. However..
I feel as you do, Mel. Only hate will come from hate.
Only
