Ok I admit that my emotions and mouth get away from me sometimes - but I've been watching BBC-America off and on at work all day and I am totally amazed at the dignity of the people in the UK. The people who were in the blasts and how they helped each other. The BBC's intense desire to get the facts as they came, compared to CNN, Fox News, and MSNBC's distortions and smarmy manipulation of rumors. Seeing the NEWS brought forth without a hidden agenda was completely shocking to me because I'd gotten used to the American Media's slanting things towards conservative issues instead of just reporting
the facts. But what will always stay in my mind are the interviews done with the victims, the quiet grief, the pain, and yet the willpower not to be frightened into submission. The strength to demand justice, not revenge. The willingness to be patient and let the police do their jobs, gather the evidence, and not to dance off needlessly striking out in frustration. Again, the difference between justice and revenge. You will be in my prayers and in my thoughts for a long time to come. The people in the UK are examples of courage for the rest of the world to admire and emulate.
