 Oh, you will pray for the people who are hurt today. Did you ever consider
 the plight of the Palestinians that have to endure this kind of torture on a
 daily basis? Do you ever pray for them? Do you ever pray for the people who
 are killed in their own homes in this fashion? Truly today is a victory for
 the oppressed! Allahu Akbar!!!!!!!

To whom ever sent this..........

If you meant it as a joke - I find it not funny - I am assuming it is not a
joke.........I doubt someone would be so crass on this list.  But I will
calmly answer your question.

Yes, I have.  I do not own a TV -- my job involved me helping children from
birth to 3 for free.  I drive from house to house -- some of them are
squallers with illegal living in them and I do what I can.  I hear the news
everyday and am sadden by it -- the killing the hurt the anger.  And it is
just not the middle east -- China - Africa - etc.  I pray - I pray a lot. I
talk to my God but he left this world to us -- for us to do what we are doing
to each other.

So - to the e-mailer - I pray for those who I will never meet, I pray for
those who lives have just been ripped from them.......those people on the
planes, those people in the buildings, those people across the ocean that
this will all effect.  And - I pray for me in hopes that I can continue
through this world without harm and that I keep the hopes I have.

Right now - I'm going to go donate blood.
