Apology--not accepted. Talk Back!
Hey...did I just link Jerry Falwell? What's up with that?? LOL I meant to stick this up the other day..never got around to it. posted by Wendy Dominguez at 9/17/2001 11:50:49 AM
Patiotism is at an all-time high here. So is captialism (which I witnessed earlier when I saw 4 men hocking flags on the median strip over on Del Amo and Cherry.). Talk Back!
Everytime I hear the word "war", I feel sick to my stomach. I see no other recourse than the one our country has chosen, but I still twist it around and around in my mind...and wish desperately there was another way. Suddenly I feel very cynical, partially because I see so many who are "ready for war!"...so many people who can think of nothing but revenge and retaliation...and I can't help but wonder if they will feel the same way in 6 months. I wonder if they understand that this will not be another "Gulf War" situation. The Gulf War was a clean war...it was a pretty war for the media...and it was far away--nothing took place on American soil. This war on terrorism will not be pretty, it will not be clean, and it will not be far away. I will back my President, because I realize he has been faced with a no-win situation, but I will also remember that we are the ones who created Bin Laden...and God only knows how many more monsters we have created in the name of freedom and democracy. I wish there was another way. I wish last Tuesday had never happened. I wish that we lived in a world that was free of evil. I wish for peace. Pray for us. posted by Wendy Dominguez at 9/17/2001 12:31:51 AM Sunday, September 16, 2001
This song is a little outdated, but it feels like a pretty damn good fit right now. Unfortunately. Talk Back!
The eastern world it tis explodin', Don't you understand, what I'm trying to say? Yeah, my blood's so mad, feels like coagulatin', Think of all the hate there is in Red China! --Eve of Destruction, Barry McGuire posted by Wendy Dominguez at 9/16/2001 11:59:29 PM Friday, September 14, 2001
I think it is just too soon for me to read articles like this. The pain and the grief are still too new, and this feels like salt in an open wound, and my first inclination was to strike out at this reporter for his opinion. Sigh. However, I'm not going to do it. I think there is enough anger floating around the universe right now--it's bad karma, and I'm trying to keep mine clean. For the record, I am one of the Americans who doesn't believe yesterday's attack was about Democracy. I think many of us know that we are hated. What most of us didn't realize was the degree of hatred directed towards America. There were children dancing in the street over this. Children. Human beings taught from birth to believe that it's God's will if America is obliterated. I get the feeling that all these terrorists have known from birth is hatred. They were fed it in the womb through their mother's umbilical cord, they were nursed on it as infants, and lived on a daily diet of it for their entire lives. They didn't KNOW anything else. There are entire generations of human beings who don't know how to NOT hate the United States. Is that not also a tragedy of untold proportions? Talk Back!
edited: Eventually, I will be able to face the part our government played in this. Just not right now. Does that make sense? posted by Wendy Dominguez at 9/14/2001 10:22:46 AM Thursday, September 13, 2001
Dave was smart, and put the disaster relief links on his page permanently...I think I will do the same. Talk Back!

"In the City of God there will be a great thunder, Talk Back!
Two brothers torn apart by Chaos, while the fortress endures, the great leader will succumb", The third big war will begin when the big city is burning" - Nostradamus 1654 Nostradamus didn't predict this, according to Rumor Watch...it would certainly be creepy enough if he did, but he didn't..so I wish people would stop sending me emails about it. I realize we are all looking for answers and explanations...but my opinion is that there ARE NONE. There is no way to explain 11 year olds dancing in the streets because thousands of innocent people were slaughtered--at least, not to a rational mind. posted by Wendy Dominguez at 9/13/2001 10:02:29 AM Wednesday, September 12, 2001

Within a half-hour of today's terrorist attacks, volunteers from around the country filed into American Red Cross blood centers and hospital blood banks... I just got back from Long Beach Memorial Hospital...my appointment to give blood was at 1:30, but they couldn't get to me until 3:30--and for once, waiting was not a bad thing. From what I understand, people are turning out in record numbers (the wait here in Long Beach at the Red Cross was 4 hours.). posted by Wendy Dominguez at 9/11/2001 07:11:30 PM
It's hard to find the words for this. This morning, I woke up in another country. We have been very lucky up until now in America. Terrorism is something that happens in those far-off Middle-Eastern countries. We blithely go about our daily lives, shaking our heads at the rest of the world and remarking about how horrible it is, all the while never once imagining that it will ever TOUCH us. It touched us today. Where we go from here is largely unwritten at this point. We will mourn the lives that were lost, we will express outrage and demand retaliation against whoever did this...the impact from this day will affect the rest of our lives. It will effect our children's lives, it will change the way we look at ourselves, and the way we look at other people...at other countries. Our luck, it seems, has run out. Talk Back!
