Sinister: Is it War?

[Jeff Burke]

I hate these people that did this. I hate them for killing. I hate them for 
making me feel hate...and anger..and disgust.

I'm in boston where apparently two planes were hijacked one of them crashed 
into the second tower. I've gone through the mental panic of going through 
all my friends and loved ones trying to recall if any of them were going to 
LA or flying out of Logan at all today or this week or this month...
I hate not knowing..

I know i'm not very twee....I don't like courdoroy, or plaid and i like 
heavier music like Rodan and June of '44 as well as beautiful music like 
B&S. and now I feel hurt and hate and disgust at being a human.

Even if the buildings had been completely empty this would have bothered me 
terribly. There's a thin veneer on all of us that keeps us civilized. I know 
people look at the WTC and see greed and corruption and capitalism and 
oppression but acknowledging those things I still always see civilization, 
common achievment and pride. Not some jingoistic nationalism, I've felt the 
same in London and Edinburgh and Montreal other cities...it's this ability 
to live together and hold up civilization and prevent us for being atavistic 
base mammals.

I'm sorry. i don't post very often and i know you probably don't care about 
my emotional turmoil. but a spleen venting was needed.

I hope you all are safe cause there's really no security right now.
