The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy has this to say about space: Space is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mindboggingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist, but that's just peanuts to space. posted by Arthur @ 9/13/2002 05:26:00 AM	Friday, September 13, 2002
Here we are again. i wish i could say something reassuring, but you know the world as well as i do. i would only suggest one thing. i see all kinds of money and energy going into tributes, but i think if we could ask those who died what they would want, they would tell us to put our efforts into Peace - to make sure this never happens again. Support worldwide education and demilitarization. Lobby to regain infringed civil rights and to create an international court. It is exceedingly tragic that in a world in which we are more connected to one another than ever before, there should still be such hatred. At some point, the U.S. has to wield that strength we're always talking about, and step down. Begin to see that massive civilian death is a reality everyday in many places, be it starvation, disease, government, terrorism. And that even if it's only a distant speck on our awareness, a person's a person, no matter how small.

Pop Monday: If you haven't recently, get your hands on a copy of the Woodstock documentary and watch it again. It always amazes me what our parents achieved, and gave up. i think, in our disillusioned 90's mindset, we find it hard to believe that such a world could exist. But listen to the shopkeepers - it did. (Though i'm usually more of a Beat, the last couple days my inner-Hippie has been visiting due to the miserable job-search and this groovy girl i found.)
