: Humor as a defence mechanism.

Nothing on the board has made me laugh today. I can understand people either not being sympathetic due to their distance from the situation or from the want to hide in their every day lives... but that understanding is limited.

Today I have wept. I have wept for the loved ones I am thankful I still have. I have wept for the families that are not able to have the same. I have wept for the innocent lives lost in this terror. I have wept for the freedom that this violation has taken from people. I have wept for my country and the people in it. If you are a person that does not understand this concept I do not shun you for such, but if you are a person that has callously posted on this board thinking yourself humerous and have made other people cringe I only give you my contempt.

This is the only post I've made today and probably the only I will make for a while. I hope that this is something that our country can weather with wisdom and tact. I hope that we as a people can one day not fear getting on an airplane, train or bus. I hope we can one day not fear working in a highrise or place of public gathering. Most of all, I just try to maintain hope.

Courage to you all and my sympathies if you have lost a loved one. God bless us all in this time of pain.

-WW
