Nice.
Wil has become quite the Flash expert, hasn't he?
Too bad the world doesn't seem to get the message. :cry:

Yep, have to quote somebody here but I don't remember who wrote this:
"Intelligence is a constant on earth and population is growing fast."
Hmm, just have to disagree, intelligent / good will people will find the way, this is more than a hope for me, it's a vital belief.
Regards.

That's Nice
Glad to see that. Believe it or not I did not hear much about 9/11 today. I hope people haven't forgotten. We don't need another wake up call.

That's where you and I will disagree. The world has warred since its inception, and I have no reason to believe it will change. And I'm not pointing fingers, as I would like to avoid a political debate.
(I consider myself a "realist", but most people think I'm a "pessimist".  )

I think the goal was to deliberately make it low-key, so that people can reflect internally about it and start the healing process. I personally prefer it that way -- having worked in Manhattan for much of my life, having to see imagery from that day is still a bit too overwhelming for me.

"Sometimes I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us." Calvin to Hobbes in Weirdos from Another Planet by Bill Watterson (1990). Since then, not much has changed...

Thanks for the thought, Wil
Thanks for sending that our way. It seems things in my area were rather low key. That's good if we don't forget to tell our children to treasure the good in all of us. We, as adults, sometimes tire of the hackneyed images and stories of old, but out children need to know why we take such pride in being on American soil. It was bought by the lives of those before them.

I'm not a big fan of Wil. In fact, I hate his guts. Truth be told, I agree with what he has to say in his little Flash presentation; but with one major difference.
Everyone wants peace. That's undeniable. The difference is in how some of us believe we should arrive there. :wink:
It was a beautiful thing to say... But knowing his political beliefs, I just wanted to clarify things a bit.

My God that has some style. Well done Wil... and thanks for pointing us at it Ed. While I'm with Janak on the 'realist' front as long as there are people who get 'the point' there is always hope...
