Coping with the 9.11.01 Aftermath

Listen to Reasoned Voices out There!

There are wonderful thinkers in this great country of ours and we need to listen to what they have to say. We may not always agree with them but we need to take the time to stop, listen, and digest what is being said before we reject or ignore what they have to say. In this time of healing we must honor the memory of the victims of this horrendous tragedy by taking the time to think things out before we rush into snap judgments, fallacious opinions, and illogical prejudices.
