An important message I have been asked to forward:

Friday Night at 7:00 p.m. EST step out your door, stop your
car, or step out of your establishment and light a candle. We
will show the world that Americans are strong and united
together against terrorism. Please pass this to everyone on
your e-mail list. We need to reach everyone across the United
States quickly.
The message: WE STAND UNITED-WE WILL NOT TOLERATE TERRORISM.
We need press to cover this-- we need the world to see.

Dude, what is UP with all the candle bullshit these days?? The local news
said that you shouldn't tell young kids what is going on. Instead, you
should light a candle and tell the child to look at the flame. Then you're
supposed to say, "You see that light? That's hope!"

I can only imagine the confusion and psychological complexes that this is
going to cause. Because a candle ISN'T hope, dammit! It's a bunch of
burning wax with a string at the top! And that's all any kid is going to
see.
