Well today is seven weeks since the day the world changed. Since that day we have been full of sorrow, hatred, revenge, fear and unable to look at things in the same manner as we used to. Our lives now seem to be bombarded with never ending stories of anthrax, constant FBI warnings of potential terrorist attacks, increased security hassles at tunnels, airports and public events, constant opinions from Arab countries telling us how much we Americans suck , companies going bankrupt left and right and an administration that is spending money like it is water. Add to that we have troops engaged in what seems to be a long and bloody war. And for reasons unknown the Bush administration seems to be baffled as to why an enemy that has been combat hardened for the last 20 years, isn’t showing signs of a desire to surrender.

So are you fairing? Have you settled into life under the constant threat of terrorism? Have you had to alter your life significantly in any way? Do you think we are making any progress, or are we running in circles?

As always the thoughts on current issues here at o&a.com are always interesting and sometimes entertaining.

I am still pissed and annoyed over the our situation. These bastards are still threatening us with Anthrax and future attacks. I think we should continue bombing until we eliminate all of these asshole territories and there way of live. They have taken the life's of innocent Americans and we should worry about completely destroying they county and people. If we don't rid the earth of all there evil it will continue. Now we have to worry about our children on Halloween because we have found out something might happen. Fuck these towel headed bastards. I am happy to see everyone come together with great patriotism. White, black, yellow, tan, every color and race have come together as American. It makes me proud that we are standing as one.


Our Flag always stands.
God Bless The USA.

The anxiety is unexplainable. It varies and shifts like the winds of an autumn day. I find myself in the midst now of dealing with life insurance policies, wills and increased mortgage protection. I awake in the morning to the thought of - will my husband come home today safe and sound? I have learned to let the petty things slide, because in the end, whether or not there is a towel on my floor for an extra 5 minutes doesn’t mean a damn thing. I open my mail with caution and at times let them sit a day or two until I am able to gather the courage to do so. I have begun to buy Christmas gifts earlier than expected, out of fear of not being able to a month from now. My mother-in-law has become a role model and the strength of her generation is what I spend my spare moments trying to find. I call my clients in New York’s financial district only to hear the agony and struggle of strength in their voice as they attempt to move on after losing so many. I have delayed and postponed meetings with them out of fear and they have done the same. I can not look at people of Middle Eastern descent the same. I avoid their gas stations, buying their products or even looking at them in a store. I am alive. I am able to walk and talk and yet I feel crippled by the known and the unknown. It’s toll on me it has taken. So, you ask how I am fairing. My answer is simple - barely able to move at times and breathing in life with caution.



...IT'S TIME FOR ECONOMIC WARFARE...

We MUST strike against the nations, which advocate, implement, harbor or financially support terrorism, by not purchasing their products or supporting their businesses!

I just flew home to NY this weekend and I wasn't scared on the plane but it was the first time I'd been back since Mid-August and seeing the city at night as I flew in to Laguardia I said to myself "I know where they should be, how sad that they aren't there anymore." I just want all the terrorists gone and our WTC back...Is that too much to ask?



In less than an hour aircraft from here will join others from around the world, and you will be launching the largest ariel battle in the history of mankind. Mankind, that word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can't be consumed by our petty differences any more. We will be united in our common interest. Perhaps it's fate that today is the 4th of July and you will once again be fighting for our freedom; not from tyranny, opression, or persecution but from annihalation. We're fighting for our right to live, to exist, and should we win the day, the 4th of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day when the world declared with one voice, "We will not go quietly into the night, we will not vanish with out a fight, we're going to live on, we're going to survive, today we celebrate our Independence Day." --President From Indepence Day

I am pissed and worried for our troops. I was in Desert Storm so I have a build up of hate towards that whole part oif the world that will live forever.

Have I changed? Quite frankily...NO. I refuse to let these assholes controll my life. I wake up in the morning, go to work, and do the best I can to do my part to keep my company afloat. I am reinvesting as much of my money as possible to do my part to keep the economy going.

I am willing to deal with the pain of loss if something terrible happens to me or anyone I love. This is the new world we live in.

Before Sept 11, my fiancee and I were pondering where we were going to live after we get married. We didn't know if we wanted to stay in the Tri-state area or move to somewhere else. But after Sept 11, i think it was pretty clear. We want to stay in the NYC area. Ever since it happened, I have grown closer to NYC than i have ever been before. The last time I was this close was when the Giants won the 1990 Super Bowl (ah, that' when the Giants were good). My family has always lived here; my parents are from Da Bronx, siblings live in NYC, relatives in Queens, my fiancee has most of her relatives in Brooklyn. We have many connections to NYC from the events we have done (eating at restuarants, etc.) to family members live in the area. I have too many memories and ties here. This will always be my home and nobody can take that away from me.

The Taliban is doing more damage than we are in this war. He refuses hand over a criminal. Which, in turn, makes us bomb Afghanistan. He is sacrificing the lifes of his people for one worthless one, which also kills people. I think the people that are cheering this worthless piece of skin should stand back, and look at what the Taliban is actually doing.
