[Steppes] It's a hard life...

[A Brauer]

Well put.

My biggest fear at this moment is that more innocent people will be killed,
out of ignorance and fear.

Let us not put the blame on the Middle Eastern people, for it is a small
group that is responsible for this. When we meet them on the street let us
look at them as friend and not as an enemy.

Let's not have a repeat, of WWII when the American's imprisoned Japanese in
America after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, or the atrocities that the
Germans perpetrated on the Jews, or the thousands of Indians killed or
displaced.  I could go on back further in time but you get my point.  Let
history not repeat itself.

Let us pray for the thousands injured or killed and their families, and
let's pray that this never happens again, not only in America but else where
in the world.

         Good My Friends,

         In light of today's events, with emotions running high, I have
had a piece of a tune running through my head all day. I think I can
safely say that I want the perpetrators of this atrocity caught and
punished as much as anyone. But I fear that in the next few days we may
hear about innocent people of Middle Eastern ancestry being shot for no
other reason that they are of Middle Eastern ancestry. I pray that my
worries are unfounded.
         If you think it appropriate, if you are around someone who needs
this reminder on EITHER side of this issue, I urge you to remember the
following words.


               Yours in Service,

                               Iain MacCrimmon

                 It's a hard life, it's a hard life,
                 It's a very hard life,
                 It's a hard life wherever you go.
                 And if you poison your children with hatred
                 Then a hard life is all that they'll know.

                                                         -- Nancy
Griffith, "It's a Hard Life"
