[HPFGU-OTChatter] The past few days...

[Wanda Mallett]

Sad to say, but it won't go away. Even here in the US
there are money hungery jerks out to scam people using
WTC tradgedy as their line to get people to donate
money. After Hurricane Andrew, jerks were scaming
people over water, food, wood, everything! Hate will
never go away as long as these jerks think they are
above everyone else! There will always be that evil
out there. I have taught my children not to judge
anyone because they are a different color,nationality,
religion, whatever makes them different from
themselves. I really hope they stay that way, but
outside influences as they get older will play into
this. As a mother, I am going to do what I can so they
won't turn out to be a part of some hate group or turn
to drugs. Not try but do what I can to make sure!
Neil, this world needs more love for one another, but
as long as hate is out there and people want what they
want for themselves and don't care about others, we
will never see it! Not in our lifetime. Thank you for
your output on your feelings. I learned last night
that a High School Buddy lost her son and his wife.
They were on one of the planes that crashed into one
of The Towers. Catlady gave a great suggestion, she is
a comfort to all in this group! Now, I'm off to find
out her address from my friend that informed me.
