I like to read a book in a nicely decorated room in Second Life. There is an authentic reproduction of the Globe Theatre just behind the building I’m in. It’s quite something to see.

So… the last post on here was a drawing of a strange FreakySeizureGod that Adam did which inspired one of our friends to say “He’s freaking me out” and may have caused another to have a seizure. Imagine my horror then when I went to our website and the header (which refreshes every time it is clicked) was displaying this picture, along with the Freaky Seizure God right underneath it.
All I need now is for my monitor to grow some Giger ‘hands’ out of it’s sides and for it jump on me.
Religious extremists smashed airplanes into the tallest buildings in New York on this day 8 years ago. 2,993 people died as the direct result of a conscious and planned actions. That is an estimated number.
These attacks precursed wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. More people died as the direct result of conscious, planned actions. 100 000 - 250 000 people in Iraq. In Afghanistan 50 000 - 100 000 people. Again, estimated numbers.
I can see the WTC memorial from my bedroom window at night. It fills me with a terrible sadness.
Those responsible for these deaths, each one a human being, loved or unloved, did it on purpose. They knew what they were doing and then they went ahead and did it in anyways.
To the dead, I send prayer. To those they left behind, in anger, in fear, in sadness and loss, I send prayer. To the light, I send prayer. Prayer that you do not make the same kinds of decisions.
