One of the lessons life keeps teaching me is that more than once you need a swift kick in the ass to get your attention focused in the right direction. Poor taste is laughing at a fart in a funeral. Stating an opinion concerning a peoples predispositon and reactions to a serious event is NOT poor taste. And poor taste is not a crime; it is an opinion, a personal belief. It is a right guaranteed to every citizen of this country.
You are correct in one respect: I should not have posted this to the DML. When I sent that email, I selected all recipients of my email list, forgetting that I have the DML listed there. My mistake. Now get over it.

>> The following was written by George Carlin.
>>
>> The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but
>shorter tempers, wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but
>have less. We buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller
>families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less
>sense, more knowledge, but less udgment, more experts, yet more problems,
>more medicine, but less wellness. We drink too much, smoke too much, spend
>too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too
>late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too
>seldom. We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk
>too much, love too seldom, and hate too often. We've learned how to make a
>living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've
>been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing
>> the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not
>innerspace. We've done larger things, but not better things. We've cleaned
>up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our
>prejudice.
>>
>> We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've
>learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more
>information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and
>less. These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and
>small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days
>of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes.
>>
>> These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one
>night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to
>quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and
>nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to
>you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just
>hit delete.
>>
>> Remember, spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going
>to be around forever. Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to
>you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your
>side. Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is
>the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.
>Remember, to say, "I love you" to your partner and your loved ones,butmost
>of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comesfrom deep
>inside of you. Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment forsomeday that
>person will not be there again. Give time to love, givetime to speak and
>give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.
