ZooT aLLures:
Thank you for the posting, I share your view.
Though it should have become quite clear that I feel a strongly
with the/ any victims, my previous mail was also intended as a plea
to get back to the ground again and to not fall for the manipulations
of certain tv channels which showed endless loops in the background
from the airplanes crashing into WTC every 10 seconds for almost
two days and nights.
IMHO, increase of quotas and preparing the ground for headlines and
pictures from another war or 'conflict' are completely different
fields than the solutions we, people, governments should be looking
for.
