BUMP!

[Concentrate]

We were just down at "Ground Zero" not four hours ago. It's so strange, really. And we went on the Staten Island Ferry, which I didn't really haven't wanted to do since 9/11, because I thought it would be too terrible. Turns out it was interesting and the downtown skyline is still beautiful, even without the towers.

But I remember going to the top of them. The view was incredible. If you look at pictures of the old skyline, you can see how the Twin Towers were twice as high as all of the surrounding skyscrapers.

What happened on September eleventh, 2001 is something I will never forget.

Before we went downtown, though, we went to the top of the Empire State Building, which was the first time I'd been there in about 10 years. The view was great! Except for the view of downtown, with the World Trade Center absent, of course.

As far as weather we should attack Iraq or not, I say we'd better have some good intel before we do, but only to make sure they don't already have nukes with ACBM's already. (China?)

Personally, I'm not in the mood to get nuked!

IOW's, TIME IS OF ESSENCE. Better before than after.
