Today I think about how often I burst into tears for weeks after 9/11 for sometimes minor reasons,I remember I got caught in a traffic jam in Garden City,Michigan on my way to work.It turned out that the traffic jam was caused by every car stopping,in both directions,to give money to the Garden City firefighters standing at the intersection collecting for the New York firefighters,I cried all the way to work at that sight.

Is it necessary for us always to be cynical?

Can we not see the beauty in this video?

I feel sorry for folks who cannot...

This was when the Busch family still owned a majority of AB. They may be part of the 1%, but they've done a lot of good things with their money.
