The September 11 2001
attacks on the World Trade Center and so on were wrong. They were crude
acts of violence, brutality, carnage, and no matter how much the
criminals who committed them justified it in their own minds, there was
no justification for it. It was the biggest form of atrocity we've
witnessed in recent history committed unfortunately in the name of god
by a group of criminals. My condolences to the family of the victims,
to the US and to the world.

N.Y. Lottery Draws 9-1-1 on 9/11
Wed Sep 11, 2002 10:25 PM ET
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - On the first anniversary of the terrorist attacks,
a
date known as 9-11, the evening numbers drawn in the New York Lottery
were
9-1-1.
"The numbers were picked in the standard random fashion using all the
same
protocols," said lottery spokeswoman Carolyn Hapeman. "It's just the
way
the numbers came up."
Lottery officials won't know until Thursday morning how many people
played
those numbers or the total payout, she said.
For the evening numbers game, the New York Lottery selects from balls
numbered
zero to nine circulating in a machine at the lottery office. Three
levers
are pressed, and three balls are randomly brought up into tubes and
then
displayed.

I'm ok. strange day... pictures passing my mind. pictures of moments I
shared with people a year ago... and I feel not good that it happens on
this
day. it shows me how much I'm fixed on dates as well... but the thing
I'm feeling is... hmm... pain... I feel guilty... feel still ashamed of
being a human being...
I'm praying every day that people start to realize that they only can
find peace, happiness, love and freedom in themselves. Fighting or
harming others
doesn't help. neither convincing them of ones own ideas. A group of
people just seems stronger... hmm... I pray for more silence and
thinking. and that
everybody starts to think less about their own lives... to see that
there is just ONE WORLD...
I don't know but today I feel like crying... hmm... crying for the
whole human race...
