Will more violence heal us?

SharedVoice.org was launched on September 17 to promote that the people want justice, but an end to more violence …

“We want to live in a world where we can live in harmony with other nations, and to feel safe from a sense of escalation that we as individuals feel little control over.”

“What is missing from the landscape of images and words is an expression of agreement among people who feel that as leaders in the world, the United States ought to uphold the values we so strongly affirm – freedom and justice. Is justice served in the taking of innocent lives, anywhere?”

from Utne Reader: “If you ever doubted that online communities can legitimately be called “communities,” the last couple of days should erase any uncertainty.

Hybrid E-Mail Worm Loose

FYI: “This worm, named W32/Nimda.A-mm, is dangerously different than virtually all e-mail borne viruses: It can infect a computer when a user simply clicks on the subject line in an attempt to open the innocent-looking e-mail, or visits a Web page housed on an infected server.” “the only workaround is to “Disable Active Scripting” in the Tools/Options/Security menu, which can be accessed from within Outlook or Explorer.” http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,1282,46944,00.html

Fleeing from the 73rd floor

My sister’s friend and colleague Osman Altan was interviewed by the Princeton Packet about his experience fleeing from 73rd floor of the north tower Tuesday morning … I think Osman’s words become even more vivid and disturbing if you view these pictures after you read the article.

From the inside

john sent me a link to these pictures taken by an anonymous person, likely a tourist, as the disaster was unfolding. i think the pictures that effected me the most are of the firemen climbing up the stairs as the others were descending: http://www.phatmax.net/wtc/wow.php
