[Austin-ghetto-list] PEACE IN OUR TIME

[Bill Irwin]

sc just outside ground zero writes to us:

"most people here are flowing over with love and compassion for each other,
 and greet each other w/embraces, joyous to find each other alive"

Yes, I have been watching you NYC folks on TV and I am very impressed.  I
hope we can build a new society on these principals.  If we had a society
based on "joyous to find each other alive" principal we would not be in this
situation at all.  Send us some more observations on life in NYC.  Take care
about breathing that dust!
Bill
