  • Pilgrimage to a Holy Place

    Pilgrimage to a Holy Place (washingtonpost.com)

    On the northern perimeter of the site, at Chambers and West streets, an elevated walkway over West offers the most panoramic view. From here, the huge wasteland looks like the handiwork of a stupendous meteor.

    If only it had been. People could call it an act of God. There would be no one to blame.
    CNN.com - Recovery: Toxic chemicals detected around WTC ruins - October 27, 2001
    Toxic chemicals have been detected at levels exceeding federal safety standards in the soil and air around the still-burning rubble of the World Trade Center, according to documents compiled by the Environmental Protection Agency.

    In addition to the dioxins, PCBs, benzene, lead and chromium found at the site, the EPA data released Friday showing low levels of contaminants had been found in the water and sediment of the Hudson River.

  • Falwell: I really believe that

    Falwell: I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People For the American Way, all of them who have tried to secularize America. I point the finger in their face and say 'you helped this happen'.

  • Everyone from Pat Robertson to

    Everyone from Pat Robertson to assorted elected officials are blaming not only Islamic terrorists, but "Islam" as a shorthand for it--all with, as yet, no evidence of who might have been behind the attacks.

    Tom Brokaw on NBC can't get enough of State Department officials. For hours this morning, NBC "reported" that the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine had "claimed responsibility" for the attack on the World Financial Center. Brokaw's source, it turns out, was an anonymous caller to Abu Dhabi television.

  • Good reminder from an activist

    Good reminder from an activist mailing list:

    Be vigilant against the anti Muslim hysteria that could hit. We already ran into a guy who was spray painting ‘Fuck Islam’. After a few stern words, and a talk about the Muslims who surely were in the World Trade Center when the planes hit, he helped us spray paint over his racist tag. White people in particular have a real responsibility here to protect our middle eastern brothers and sisters from the mindless, racist, reasonless attacks and finger pointing that are sure to follow this attack.

  • What good is spilling blood?

    What good is spilling blood?
    It will not grow a thing
    “TASTE ETERNITY”
    the sword sings Blues for ALLAH
    In’sh’ALLAH
    They lie where they fall
    There’s nothing more to say

    • Robt. Hunter

      look at water and fire
      earth and wind
      enemies and friends all at once
      the wolf and the lamb
      the lion and the deer
      far away yet together
      look at the unity of this
      spring and winter
      manifested in the equinox
      you too must mingle my friends
      since the earth and the sky
      are mingled just for you and me
      - Rumi

  • If you're in Manhattan, think

    If you're in Manhattan, think about something seriously for me -- there was already a major blood shortage, and there will be an immense need for blood. Most hospitals have set up ways for you to walk in and donate blood today; please, if you're OK, and your family is OK, and you are just glued to your television, think about ungluing yourself, walking to your nearest hospital, and donating blood.

    I cannot stress how important this is right now.
