Tuesday






 "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.

    i agree. but...i reserve the right to judge since i do not have a loved one that died in 911. i suspect the vast majority of those people are rejoicing just a little.
