  Re: Dreams will never die
 
(...) This was a very good post. Love your Ikros story too, btw. I agree with the essence of what you said about death - most deaths are cause for sadness, but some are tradgedies that exact additional anguish on our souls. I do disagree with you - (...)

  Re: I couldn't sleep so...
 
Hi, I rarely follow lugnet discussions as I am busy with other things/hobbies, such as nursing my three children back to health this weekend. However, the continued stream of messages on this thread did finally cause me to look at one of the images (...) (22 years ago, 3-Feb-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.loc.us.tx, lugnet.org.us.texlug)
 
  Re: I couldn't sleep so...
 
(...) Thanks for providing a little about what the images mean to you. It's a different interpretation than the immediate one that came to my mind upon seeing them. In case anyone was wondering, my immediate reaction to the images was to take them (...) (22 years ago, 3-Feb-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.loc.us.tx, lugnet.org.us.texlug)

  Re: I couldn't sleep so...
 
(...) First, I have to add my voice to the chorus of praise for your original post, you were wrong when you said the sentiments would be a dime a dozen. Many of use feel the way you do, but few of us are as articulate about it as you were, and I (...) (22 years ago, 2-Feb-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.loc.us.tx, lugnet.org.us.texlug)
 
  Re: I couldn't sleep so...
 
(...) Whoa..big generalization there concerning the atheist remark. I don't think that Brendan was making any comments about the existence of a higher being or the lack thereof, but as to what the picture literally depicted. And I can see his (...)

Anthony, Thank you for writing this. I so agree, and am glad there are others out there who think this way. Peace and Long Life, Tony Alexander (22 years ago, 2-Feb-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.loc.us.tx, lugnet.org.us.texlug)
 
  Re: I couldn't sleep so...
 
No offence, but this is the answer I would expect from an athiest. Anthony, your images are wonderful in the way they show your belief in a higher being, and since faith is differant to everyone, this could only be comforting to you, and that is (...)

  RE: I couldn't sleep so...
 
I don't find anything wrong with them. I rather find them somewhat comforting, to think that... shall we say... a higher power, was with them at the time of the tragedy.

  Re: I couldn't sleep so...
 
Hi, Anthony. First let me say that that I was moved by your words about the space shuttle astronauts and heroism. It is of some comfort to be reminded during a tragedy like this that these people's hopes and dreams will survive even though they (...)

I made these two pictures. I hope I don't offend anyone by posting these. Feel free to save em or use em or whatever. (URL) they're too inappropriate, please tell me and I'll remove them. --Anthony (22 years ago, 2-Feb-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.loc.us.tx, lugnet.org.us.texlug)

  Re: Dreams will never die
 
Well said indeed. I'm reminded of an old song that ask "Why do you have to die to be a hero?" If this tradedy hadn't happen most people in the U.S. wouldn't of known or cared about this mission. It's sad to think that only something so disastrous (...) (22 years ago, 2-Feb-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.loc.us.tx, lugnet.org.us.texlug)
