gah i sometimes can't stand americans
--------------------------------------------------
edit: I won't delete what I previously said (no backing out now!)
But an apology is in order, I think. Doomguy, I hadn't read your post before posting that, and with the feeling of loss I experienced after 9/11 even without a loved on being involved, I can imagine how horrible it was and how you must feel.
Any problems I have about how the feds are going about this perhaps should, perhaps shouldn't be discussed here, but certainly shouldn't be reflected in little one line sarcastic quips, generalizing just as much as those I have problems with.
A good friend of the family, an Iranian gent, was beat up in a bar about a week after the shizz went down. No, he wasn't saying, "gah, I can't stand Americans." He spent several days in the hospital. This is the kind of stuff I worry about. And my reaction was to the wild abandon of which I have seen so much in the last month.
As always is the case on these boards, people are taking a lot to the table unseen. I apologize again for my rather immature approach (as you can see from my number of posts I am relatively new at this!).
