Part of my family is from New York, I have cousins who are fire fighters, uncles who are in the police department there.<BR/><BR/>Sam you are right about us old folks talking about history. I don't feel our schools are doing such a good job.<BR/><BR/>Yesterday while I was cleaning off my fence in the back yard the neighborhood kids were playing in their yard, we got to talking,I ask them if they knew who Bobby Kennedy was, they said no,I said surley you know who John F. Kennedy<BR/>is, again they said no. After a while I ask them if they knew who Martin Luther King was, they said sure, next I ask, do you know what he did, they said not really but they knew they got off school because of him. <BR/><BR/>I agree we need to talk a lot more to the younger generation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30502767.post-1157951893599333532006-09-11T00:18:00.000-05:002006-09-11T00:18:00.000-05:00John, Thank you for your thoughtfulness in listing sources to help us prepare for disaster.<BR/>I can't think of a more appropriate way to pay tribute to the 9/11 victims than to protect the lives of those living today.<BR/><BR/>I would also like to remind any readers that today is also the one <BR/>hundredth anniversary of Ghandis<BR/>presentation of his plans for non-violent interventions to achieve peace and justice. Perhaps some of us old folks can mark the occasion by explaining to some of the younger generation who Ghandi was and what he stood for and achieved.Samhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08528442771849716393noreply@blogger.com
