He tried to call me out, so to speak, when I laughed at him and walked away. Tried to lecture me on my lack of respect. <br /><br />Things didn't go well for him. Some of the crowd applauded when I was done, then jeered him well as I walked away again. Too bad he still didn't get it.<br /><br />'factler'.

It was difficult to watch but not nearly as difficult as the lives of those on the special. <br /><br />I remember the day in ridiculous detail. I remember trying to teach our daughters the nature of evil. Not that we succeeded, but they at least understand the need to combat it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3449788532742031864.post-56266852149942190492011-09-13T10:58:56.132-04:002011-09-13T10:58:56.132-04:00Lime - Yeah, I clicked on one of the myriad '9...<b>Lime</b> - Yeah, I clicked on one of the myriad '9-11 retrospectives', which opened with the single burning tower.
