Thanks for yours.<br /><br /><b>Muhammad</b><br />Indeed, it was a very tragic incident.<br /><br /><b>Tabor</b><br />Thanks for your thoughts - You were instrumental in convincing me that I was wrong to remove the lines.<br /><br /><b>Elisabeth</b><br />Thanks for this. The ambivalence, I think, is key.<br /><br /><b>Titus</b><br />Thank you for those observations. I find them very useful indeed.<br /><br /><b>haricot</b><br />Yes, I think I'm with you here. Thanks for saying.<br /><br /><b>jane</b><br />Thanks for this. It is a great help to hear these things.<br /><br /><b>manicddaily</b><br />Thanks for the reflections. Much appreciated, as is the link. I shall certainly go and have a read.<br /><br /><b>Brian</b><br />I have to agree with you. Not nice, indeed sums it up. Grateful for the comments on the poem.<br /><br /><b>Cassiopeia</b><br />Thank you very much. Good to have you visiting.<br /><br /><b>Tommaso</b><br />Yes, thanks. I actually hadn't appreciated its wider application when I wrote the phrase.<br /><br /><b>HKatz</b><br />Hi, a warm welcome to you. I appreciate your observations and would particularly endorse the strange reactions comment. I guess though, that they are only strange because we are not privy to their cause.<br /><br /><b>Mary</b><br />Indeed, I quite agree. Thanks.<br /><br /><b>Sheila</b><br />'Tis enough - believe me!

It brings home the point that while these events are tragedies, they happen all around us, and people react in strange ways all around us, and the best we can do is keep a level head and try, do the best we can.HKatzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17653570160517335758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508563923634392703.post-11638699412948882922011-12-01T19:16:48.410+00:002011-12-01T19:16:48.410+00:00"The facts exonerate us all": How true. ..."The facts exonerate us all": How true.

I've been through them as well, when one is a bit amazed (if lucky enough not to be the person involved) and kind of crazed (if one of the party.) Agh. <br /><br />I have a sestina on a similar subject, if you are interested.
