i wrote this two days ago and got slammed by freepers for not mourning the astronauts enough,,,,,here is an example with a post just after mine,,,,,,,To: kidkosmic1

A few days before the Columbia was lost there were four crew killed in a Blackhawk helicopter crash in Afghanistan,, the story got a thirty second mention on the news,, no flag at half staff, no interviews of the relatives , no lookback of their life,, no memorial, no memorial services for television, we don't even know their names. These brave heroes who were protecting our freedoms and our very lives were forgotten in less than a minute. With the 24/7 coverage that the shuttle story will cover(and they are already driving this story into the ground), it's too bad our soldiers and their lives couldn't have been be more appreciated...

Please, cut it out. We love and miss our service men. And I prayed for them and their families. But at this time, let us enjoy in peace and have a moment of tranquility as we grieve for these astronauts and their families.

Give us a moment to rest on the Lord.

Scott, an incredible site. Thank you for your exceptional work. May our Lord Jesus Christ bless you always.

you didn't wait the standard 72 hours!!

If you had waited for the initial shock to wear off, you wouldn't have gotten near the backlash.

You can be up front and state your opinion, but you must wait for the emotional ones to calm down, if you don't wanna get kicked in the head. 72 hours will normally do it.

Those that cannot think rationally during a crisis must be dealt with in a diplomatic manner, because they are normally a majority, and will kill you, if given the opportunity.
