all, i'm a young american living in boston... what happened today endangered the lives of friends and family...thankfully it didn't take any. took the train home from school this morning...a great deal of my peers (by that i mean americans of my generation) apparently found what happened to be hilarious...a cause for celebration, even. everyone else seemed momentarily annoyed with the interruption of their daily routine. i can't say the occurrence or reaction startled me in the least...i offer best wishes to the families and friends of the deceased...and no one else. we'll all be back to our routine, tomorrow. tragic, isn't it? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I don't know what kind of peers those are, but I need to say that not ONE of MY peers (by that i mean Americans of my generation) found anything "hilarious" or "a cause for celebration". Every single person around me (of all generations) have been shocked and saddened and angered by this. I just don't want everyone to think that the assholes Mark observed are in any way representative of American youth. In fact, they're not even representative of human beings. ~brier P.S. Pleased that the show will go on in Portland.... beautiful music is what our hearts need right now.

ditto brier my school's campus was one of the most beautifully observant place i have ever been a vigil lasted three hours, as white candels burned down slowly no one cared about the hot wax on their fingertips i think we wished it could have burned us more we were all touched and hurt and angry and quiet and quiet and quiet a local bloodrive drove hundreds of mary washington students to wait in 9 hour lines no one no one no one celebrated everyone everyone everyone mourns tonight a new yorker, alice virginia ===== seasons rise and set(bitter switching sweet) flashing brightly colored changes while out our searching eyes meet switching looks and lives and ages __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
