Where were you on September 11th?

September 11th is the Kennedy assassination of my generation. I used to think it odd that people remembered exactly what they were doing and where they were when Kennedy was shot. Then the twin towers fell. And I saw it. And I remember.

I think it was a Tuesday. Doesn't matter. I do know I was working late shift or afternoons because I was still home getting ready for school, and the news was on. I remember thinking that the 1st plane's navigation system must really have gone wrong for it to crash into that office tower. And then the 2nd plane hit, and 2 planes with faulty nav systems didn't make sense. And then the rest of the details came out.

I can picture the tv in my mind. I know exactly where I was standing in the room. Odd.

How do we prevent this from happening again? Better airport security isn't the answer. They catch all the wrong people - they catch the innocent but 'didn't read the new rules' ones. Global understanding? Maybe. I think Love is the answer. England Dan and John Ford Coley do too.

And when you feel afraid
(Love one another)
When you've lost your way
(Love one another)
And when you're all alone
(Love one another)
And when you're far from home
(Love one another)
And when you're down and out
(Love one another)
And when your hopes run out
(Love one another)
And when you need a friend
(Love one another)
And when you're near the end
(Love)
(We've got to love)
(We've got to love one another)

Light of the world, shine on me
Love is the answer
Shine on us all
Set us free
Love is the answer...
