September 11

Evening Herr KaLeun. I too have always been surprised that this charge was the last large scale one, but it is how I remember it.
Just to be sure, I did google last  British cavalry charge and found and read of the one you mention about an hour ago!

Read Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan or Sword of Truth by Terry Goodkind if you want some good reading.

You can growl at me all you want… This was merely meant as a memorial for those who fell…

I am impressed with the maturity and growth shown by everyone here.

(sigh!)

It was a tuesday. I was going to school in Brooklyn NY. It was my first year of highschool. I had to take a 15 minute subway ride to get to school. It was actually my first day on the subway. Previous days my father had the good will of driving me to school. That day I got lost on the subway and got to school at 8:30 AM. By my second period class my classmate noticed some smoke over the trees. Minutes later some lady comes into the classroom and quietly whispers something onto my teacher’s ear. Once the lady left, our teacher informed us that a plane crashed into one of the towers of the WTC. We spent the rest of the period talking about how in the 1940’s a similar accident had happened with the Empire State building. We went off to the next period class as usual. There we went on the computers and found out that a second plane crashed into the other tower. Panic started taking over the class as our teacher told us that it might have been a terrorist attack. By 4th period we were all watching the news on any available tv that the school had to offer. There were kids crying and teachers as well when we found out that both towers had fallen. By six period my mother came to pick me up. She walked 70 blocks to get to my school. There were no trains running and the busses and cabs were full. As we walked back to my house, we heard jet fighters zooming past our heads and people would duck in fear. I myself was scared since on tv they had said that there were 6 airplanes missing. When I was approaching my house, i noticed a thick layer of ashes on top of the cars. I collected some of it, that i still hold to this day. I also picked up a burning paper that came falling in front of me. Later on that day me and my family walked to the Brooklyn Promonade to see Manhattan. On the there, we saw people taht were coming from manhattan covered in dust. I will never forget that scene. Downtown Manhattan was one big dust cloud. The only thing you could see were the sirens of the official vehicles. “what a day”.
A few days later my neighborhood was covered with faces. Papers everywhere with “have you seen…” “last day seen…” I knew people that died there. RIP

MY OPINION: I, as a person that experienced the tragedy, do not wish to see another American city devastated as NYC was.

@El:

War on Global Warming
better known to experts as
Global Cyclical Weather Patterns.
See…The Four Billionth Annual Edition of The Annotated Encyclopedia of Global Warming and Other Undocumented Prattle.

The same experts that also wrote “How the Lord really needed only seven days to create the world, and how he never could allow a man-made warming trend?” …

Or was it the expert that wrote “How to try to be funny again and again” :D ;) ?

I think we just see the pictures of the WTC being hit, or falling, too much. Let those pictures rest, we should be watching something more positive.

I find myself on to minds of thought. When it first happened I would agree with the fact that the news coverage was CRAZY. Network TV, NBC, ABC, CBS, FOX had some 72 straight hours of coverage.

On the other side of the coin I don’t mind seeing pictures of it from time to time. The same as I don’t mind watching pearl harbor or moon landing footage on occasion.

All things in moderation :)

Well, everyone else has to think about it, but ,
for you, :evil: b_k :evil: , there is no doubt. :P :wink: - Xi

“The consistent anarchist…should be a socialist, but a
socialist of a particular sort. He will not only oppose
alienated and specialized labor and look forward to the
appropriation of capital by the whole body of workers,
but he will also insist that this appropriation be
direct, not exercised by some elite force acting in the
name of the proletariat…Some sort of council communism
is the natural form of revolutionary socialism in an
industrial society. It reflects the intuitive under-
standing that democracy is largely a sham when the
industrial system is controlled by any form of autocratic
elite, whether of owners, managers, and technocrats, a
“vanguard” party, or a State bureaucracy.”
