Rich,

That's good news, glad to hear.  It's good to get back to work while we
remember these things. The world has a lot to look forward to.

I personally, got a lot of accounting software to update, and really
having
trouble focusing, what with recent events. People just tend to hang
around and watch tv all the time & I for one need to get away from the
TV and start remembering what freedom is like. ;-)

To quote "W", "We're gonna smoke em out... get em runnin...
and grab em up..."

Just think: What would make those terrorists more pissed off than the
fact that we'll go back to our business as usual? That we are not
interested about Ben Lauder's plans? Or even how to spell his name?

Human Beings are the best at what we do because we come from the best of
the entire world - we ARE the world and they are us. Sure, Australia and
the state of Georgia were once penal colonies, but America
came from hard-working, honest, adventuresome, entrepenuerial types,
strong foundations, strong people, strong determination, and we have
succeeded before, not just at the hard things but at nearly everything 
we do because we are diverse, wonderful people, who love freedom, and 
have earned the priviledge to defend it. And there are probably more
American-Muslims in America than there are Oher-Muslims in Afghanistan.
It is illogical to fight wars without conflict.

I have every confindence in the American people, and in The other Human
Beings all over
the world. We shall live to celebrate our diversity!

I sit in the comfort of my studio, listening to whatever I want, not
giving a tinker's cuss about which cave the evildoers are hiding in,
because I can. I am free to
remember, and take solace knowing that "W" is going to "smoke em out...
get em running... and grab em up..."  and that's all I need to know
right now. That'll do fine... Let the bots converse in 2001! Loebener
