MEMORIAL PAGE
Statement
Sadly, the squirrels outside will never know the tragedy befallen the homo sapiens sapiens scampering all across their homes and parkland... For that matter, neither will the Dodo. Some of them because they never could know, some of them because theyre already dead.
Still the rains will
fall, still the eagle will hunt the salmo--....the rabbits, still the bears
will hibernate, still the cougar will stalk its prey, still the daffodils
will blossom in the spring, still the earth will spin and galaxies drift
apart
still we will breathe
the air
and cry
may our screams be heard
for eternity.
mmmm
A show of patriotism by the suite nextdoor.
A show of retrained patriotism by my suite (those are my flags).
Mohammed al-Amir Atta, father of Mohammed Atta, the terrorist who flew
AA flight 11 into the N. tower of the WTC, on his son:
“Did he ever learn to fly? Never. He never even had a kite.” Added
Atta senior: “My daughter, who is a doctor, used to get him medicine before
every journey, to make combat the cramps and the vomiting he feels every
time he gets on the plane.” At one point in our interview, he held up an
old photograph of his son and said: “Look, he is even more handsome than
the picture in the newspaper.”
