Andrew, andrew andrew..... <br /> <br />No one is verbaly chastizing you, or beating on you. <br /> <br />What dan meant to say, was overephisized by all the wrong words. I'm french still learning english, and I can telll yoiu, what he intended to say and what was actually written was somehting very similar, but he completelyyused the worng words. Even myself noticed that. <br /> <br />And Ed... he's not trying to condemn what you think or anyhting along those lines.. <br /> <br />I have read what you did say, and to be perfectlyhonest,some ofthose things yousaid can and never will happen. I'd love to see them happen as well, but in a realistic and short term sense, it just won't. <br /> <br />Now i'm not going to tell you to grow up or anyhting.. your helping out how you so deeem appropriate. It is not up to me to condemn or disbelieve or smack down what you said. I can see vey much potential in what you are saying, I jsut can't see it happening. <br /> <br />But I, and unfortunately,speaking only for myslef, do appreciate your input- because i'm notlookign at the words you wrote down- I'm looking at the general ideas and using it as a way to see how youtr feeling.I can see your angry that there isn't much you can do, and when we get like that, we tend to yell out a lot ofideas <br /> <br />Done it a million times beforein my life, i'll do it 4 million more times before I die as well. <br /> <br />your reaction is perfectlynormal, take that from my perspective. Everyone is upset they can'tdo more. You know that Ilie awake at night jsut wanting to pack my things up, drive down their, throw on my RR vest and see howmuch I can help out? I lie awake thinking this at night- <br /> <br />I'd love to do it- ButI fear being a nuisance more then being a help. <br /> <br />Andrew I completely understand that you feel to the maximum for these people, the death toll is so bad and you have a city24 feet below sea level... I can hardly imagine it. <br /> <br />As for your advice, I read alot- I read many books a month-I believe self education is a great thing.I came across an author called Thomas mann, he once said that regardless how useless other people think your advice is, dispense it nonetheless. There will be always be one person out of 50 who will take what you have to say to heart, and they will take what you have to say home. <br /> <br />When we get upset, most of what we say lacks rational thought. I'mnot saying anyhting you've said needs to be rethought, but just rememebr, think twice speak once as George Orwell said. <br /> <br />In this case,Think three times, write once. <br /> <br />Your a good guy Andrew, I can tell your a musicalperson, based on what you say, your right side of the brain gets used alot. People who only use their left will be quick to dismiss what you have to say... <br /> <br />...how true is that? <br /> <br />True story... <br /> <br />Soi'm hear,and i'm lsitening... <br /> <br />Not to you solely, but everyone. <br /> <br />AS for this disaster... I can't even...I don't know what to say about it. I hope help arrives quickly, and I hope the Vancouver team is very successful in what their mission was. <br /> <br />If you don't pray, please, think nice thoughts about the people down their..nicet thoughts goa hell of a long way/. <br />
