[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 378434, member: 1991"] It's the 9th anniversary. We're also coming up to the 10th anniversary of the Sydney Olympics, they are organising a volunteers reunion next Wednesday for it. That's how I'm so sure that 9/11 was 9 years ago, not 10. Despite Sydney being in the middle of Olympic fever, we would have noticed, and it would have had a huge impact on the Olympics. It's been in our news a lot too in Australia, including a few other issues which I will not dignify by giving them any more publicity. It's weird when I think of the date - for us, it happened on the 12th of September. Just after midnight. I woke on 12 September to the news. Those who were late to bed and saw it on the news, got no sleep that night. It was simply awful, even from where we were on the other side of the world. We've had a few TV shows on recently which are discussing the events of that day in more detail than I've seen before. Very sad, but very informative. Perhaps the best lessons we can learn from this, is to love one another and share that love, no matter what the differences are between us. This awful act was perpetrated by a very small number of radical extremists. The majority of the religion they claimed to represent were appalled and have been more hurt by these acts, than helped in any way. We need to reach out to one another more, rather than let fear control us. Once we let fear control our actions, we allow those (*JB(*_HJPIs to win. Love one another. Even the oddballs. Hey, we do it already, us here on this site! Marg [/QUOTE]
