Not really related directly with 9-11 event and the aftermath.
Some humour on Politics...

THE "TWO-COW EXPLANATION" OF WHAT MAKES...

A SOCIALIST:
You have two cows. The government takes one and gives
it to your
neighbor.

A REPUBLICAN:
You have two cows. Your neighbor has none. So what?

A DEMOCRAT: You have two cows. Your neighbor has none.
You feel guilty
for
being successful. You vote people into office who tax
your cows,
forcing you
to sell one to raise money to pay the tax. The people
you voted for
then
take the tax money and buy a cow and give it to your
neighbor You feel
righteous.

A COMMUNIST:
You have two cows. The government seizes both and
provides you with
milk.

A FASCIST:
You have two cows. The government seizes both and
sells you the milk.
You
join the underground and start a campaign of sabotage.

DEMOCRACY, AMERICAN STYLE:
You have two cows. The government taxes you to the
point you have to
sell
both to support a man in a foreign country who has
only one cow, which
was a
gift from your government.

CAPITALISM, AMERICAN STYLE:
You have two cows. You sell one, buy a bull, and build
a herd of cows.

BUREAUCRACY, AMERICAN STYLE:
You have two cows. The government takes them both,
shoots one, milks
the
other, pays you for the milk, then pours the milk down
the drain.

AN AMERICAN CORPORATION:
You have two cows. You sell one, and force the other
to produce the
milk
of
four cows. You are surprised when the cow drops dead.

"Speak to us of Crime and Punishment."
- Kahlil Gibran "THE PROPHET"

...
But I say that even as the holy and the righteous cannot rise beyond the highest which is in each one of you,

So the wicked and the weak cannot fall lower than the lowest which is in you also.

And as a single leaf turns not yellow but with the silent knowledge of the whole tree,

So the wrong-doer cannot do wrong without the hidden will of you all.

Like a procession you walk together towards your god-self.
...

Himalaya soars

For most people, this film is the only
glimpse they will ever get into a
culture quickly slipping away.

Practicing compassion

The challenge of compassion -- keeping an open heart in dealing with
others -- is wrestled with in all spiritual traditions.

The Dalai Lama's teachings on this subject, drawn from his visit
to America in 1999, form the basis of his book "An Open Heart."
