I was watching something on tv about segregation. There were horrible images, but it's not the first time I ever saw them. I know it was bad in places like Birmingham and such, but was it really horrible everywhere? Or were there communities who were decent and civil and even though they were seperate, they weren't cruel? They just went about their business? I imagine that would've been so. Were there blacks and whites who got along despite it all? Please tell me there were some who refused to hate. I was born in the 80's, so I have no idea how it REALLY was. I hope that there are positive stories of blacks and whites hanging out, being happy, having a good time. Anyone know of any?

Wierd facts about 9/11


1) New York City has 11 letters



2) Afghanistan has 11 letters.



3) Ramsin Yuseb (The terrorist who threatened to destroy the Twin Towers in 1993) has 11 letters.



4) George W Bush has 11 letters.



5) The two twin towers make an "11"



This could be a mere coincidence, but this gets more interesting:




1) New York is the 11th state.



2) The first plane crashing against the Twin Towers was flight number

11.



3) Flight 11 was carrying 92 passengers. 9 + 2 = 11



4) Flight 77 which also hit Twin Towers, was carrying 65 passengers.

6+5 = 11



5) The tragedy was on September 11, or 9/11 as it is now known. 9 + 1+ 1 = 11



6) The date is equal to the US emergency services telephone number 911.

9 + 1 + 1 = 11.



Sheer coincidence..?! Read on and make up your own mind:
1) The total number of victims inside all the hi-jacked planes was 254. >2 + 5 + 4 = 11.



2) September 11 is day number 254 of the calendar year.

Again 2 + 5 + 4 = 11.



3) The Madrid bombing took place on 3/11/2004. 3 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 4 = 11.



4) The tragedy of Madrid happened 911 days after the Twin Towers

incident.



Sheer coincidence..?! Read on and make up your own mind:
Now this is where things get totally eerie:



The most recognized symbol for the US, after the Stars & Stripes, is the Eagle. The following verse is taken from the Quran, the Islamic



holy book:

"For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome Eagle. The wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands of Allah and lo, while some of the people trembled in despair still more rejoiced: for the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah and there was peace."



That verse is number 9.11 of the Quran.



Still uncovinced about all of this..?! Try this and see how you feel afterwards, it made my hair stand on end:


Open Microsoft Word or notepad and do the following(TRY THIS FOR REAL)



1. Type in capitals Q33 NY. This is the flight number of the first

plane to hit one of the Twin Towers.



2. Highlight the Q33 NY



3. Change the font size to 48.



4. Change the actual font to the WINGDINGS 1

Why do we try to find stuff out about outer space. I mean we spend billions of dollars that we paid the government and they use it to try to find life on another planet. They found life on a planet billions of light years away so what good does that do. If aliens want to find us that is fine by me but we shouldn't try to find them cuz it is useless.

And also about the war in Iraq. It's stupid isn't it. Ever since that started gas prices started going up. Bush should just bring everybody back. If Iraq attacks us then we should nuke them or something. Or if Bush leaves our troops over there they should use Iraq's gasoline.


Please answer both or just one. These are serious problems.

Is it just me or has anyone else noticed the term " tzar "being used more often in naming US govt agency heads.? For instance, I just read that a new " war tzar" has been named. I think there is also a "drug tzar". The name "homeland" security and " tzar" is starting to give me the creeps. This is not a political question{ I don't think} but rather a question about word choice. They read like terms used in a futuristic science fiction novel. What is going on here?
