As for me, I'm happy to see a group of very young people who are actually taking an interest in the world around them. I won't criticize that, but will applaud it.

His answer is that he is a Christian and thinks we need to love one another. In his view, it's the little things that matter.

They are also holding a candlight vigil or rememberence ceremony Monday night at 7 PM at Town Hall if anyone is interested. I am sure a lot of other palces and churches are too.<BR/><BR/>For me the question is they say remember so we never forget. But what does remembering do really? We need action to prevent these acts, so we can forget what is is to live with terrorism, understanding that there will always be violence and evil in the world and we should not be so naviee to think we are immune.LSTresidentPIAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09363453610874838651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-1157598570407110622006-09-06T23:09:00.000-04:002006-09-06T23:09:00.000-04:00Bernie - good post.

See http://www.sudandivestment.org/position.asp#state<BR/><BR/>PA already has a law providing for divestment, among other responses, in all state sponsors of terrorism, including Sudan: http://www.legis.state.pa.us/2003%5F0/hr0263p1580.htm<BR/><BR/>It doesn't require divestment, though, and none of our cities or towns here have any such measure. We could push cities, towns, and counties to adopt measures like the State's to move towards divestment from all of the 6 countries on the state department's terror list. Few politicians would dare oppose it, I'd think.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-1157596632721485412006-09-06T22:37:00.000-04:002006-09-06T22:37:00.000-04:00Great commentary Burnie.
