FAST FACT:
The energy on board (fuel + kinetic energy) of a fully loaded 767 airplane moving at 400 mph is on the order of a kiloton, which is the yield of a typical tactical nuke. That is the scale of attack that NYC suffered.
"Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never has, and it never will. If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet deprecate agitation are men who want crops without plowing the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its waters." -- Frederick Douglass
"When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace." -- Jimmy Hendrix -- (1942-1970, American Musician, Guitarist, Singer, Songwriter)
"Break a vase, and the love that reassembles the fragments is stronger than that love which took its symmetry for granted when it was whole." -- Derek Walcott-- *Nobel Laureate Derek Walcott's words come from his Nobel Lecture, "The Antilles: Fragments of Epic Memory," 1992.
We were talking about the feudal family and terrorism. Yes. Because in rigid dominator families, whether in the Muslim world or elsewhere, you learn from childhood that it's okay to impose your will by force on those weaker than you - women and children - that it's your God-given right to do so. And you learn never to express your anger or resentment against those who cause you pain, for fear of more pain. So you have a lot of stored rage that can be redirected toward "out-groups," in pogroms and lynchings and "holy wars."-- Riane Eisler-- A School for Violence: A conversation LA Weekly, Vol. 23, Number 45, 9/ 28-10/ 4/01
PREPARING FOR MOVIES ABOUT 9/11: A PARENTS GUIDE
Advertising and media controversy surrounding the release of "United 93" is saturating the airwaves, making exposure to violent 9/11 images an inevitability. When confronted with news or images about 9/11, some people may find that they will experience feelings similar to those they had soon after 9/11 itself, such as sadness, anger, confusion, disappointment, and nervousness. Others may feel that they are able to more effectively cope, and that they are in fact more ready than they were in the past to talk about their feelings. Undertaken in an informed and sensitive way, talking about 9/11 or other potentially frightening topics will not increase childrens feelings of worry or sadness. In fact, it is usually through discussions with a trusted adult that children are able to feel safer and less afraid. By being proactive and preparing your children for the media attention they are likely to be exposed to, you will be taking animportant step toward helping your children cope.
