� Horoscopes �

Every Friday is Horrorscope day - Horoscopes... horoscopes revel in the differences between each of us, and in a free country we can do that. We can celebrate the differences between each and every one of us. We can celebrate our ethnicity, our cultural histories, our differences because we know that underneath those differences, we have a commonality - a core set of principles we believe in - the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness...

and we hold these truths to be self evident - the truth that all men and women are created equal...

and now we are engaged in a great war, testing whether this nation or any nation so conceived and so dedicated to freedom can long endure. We are all connected by visions of a battlefield of that war. Tonight we will dedicate a moment of silence for those who gave their lives that this nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow their sacrifice. Those brave souls - living and dead who struggled who are struggling still - have consecrated it far above our meager power to add or detract. The world will little note nor long remember what is said here, but it can never forget what they did there.

It is for us the living rather to be dedicated to the unfinished work which their sacrifice has thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to remain dedicated to the great task remaining before us--that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they unknowingly gave the last full measure of devotion--that we highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation under God shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.


The Horoscopes
please share your horoscope with someone who needs it.

Aries 3/20-4/18
Friday Night at 7:00 p.m. place your hand on a door knob, turn it, step out, pull the car over to the side of the road, turn off the engine, walk right out of work... and light a candle. Show the world that free people are strong and united together against terrorism. In Great Briton, do this. In India, do this. In Mexico, do this. In Canada, do this. In the EU, do this. Tell everyone you know what you plan to do.

Today and this weekend, if you are standing next to someone who looks Arabic, if you a see a person who is Muslim, keep in mind that they believe in the same core principals as you... and by you discriminating against them - by you treating them any different than you would have a week ago, you are letting terror win. We are Americans, racism is not what holds us together.

Its my job to have something to say.

My job is to provide words that help make sense of that which troubles the American soul. But in this moment of airless shock when hot tears sting disbelieving eyes, the only thing I can find to say, the only words that seem to fit, must be addressed to the unknown author of this suffering.

You monster. You beast. You unspeakable bastard.

What lesson did you hope to teach us by your coward's attack on our World Trade Center, our Pentagon, us? What was it you hoped we would learn? Whatever it was, please know that you failed.

Did you want us to respect your cause? You just damned your cause.

Did you want to make us fear? You just steeled our resolve.

Did you want to tear us apart? You just brought us together.

Let me tell you about my people. We are a vast and quarrelsome family, a family rent by racial, social, political and class division, but a family nonetheless. We're frivolous, yes, capable of expending tremendous emotional energy on pop cultural minutiae -- a singer's revealing dress, a ball team's misfortune, a cartoon mouse.

We're wealthy, too, spoiled by the ready availability of trinkets and material goods,and maybe because of that, we walk through life with a certain sense of blithe entitlement. We are fundamentally decent, though -- peace-loving and compassionate. We struggle to know the right thing and to do it. And we are, the overwhelming majority of us, people of faith, believers in a just and loving God.

Some people -- you, perhaps -- think that any or all of this makes us weak.

You're mistaken.

We are not weak. Indeed, we are strong in ways that cannot be measured by arsenals.

Yes, we're in pain now. We are in mourning and we are in shock. We're still grappling with the unreality of the awful thing you did, still working to make ourselves understand that this isn't a special effect from some Hollywood blockbuster, isn't the plot development from a Tom Clancy novel.

Both in terms of the awful scope of their ambition and the probable final death toll, your attacks are likely to go down as the worst acts of terrorism in the history of the United States and, probably, the history of the world. You've bloodied us as we have never been bloodied before.

But there's a gulf of difference between making us bloody and making us fall. This is the lesson Japan was taught to its bitter sorrow the last time anyone hit us this hard, the last time anyone brought us such abrupt and monumental pain. When roused, we are righteous in our outrage, terrible in our force. When provoked by this level of barbarism, we will bear any suffering, pay any cost, go to any length, in the pursuit of justice.

I tell you this without fear of contradiction. I know my people, as you, I think, do not. What I know reassures me. It also causes me to tremble with dread of the future.

In the days to come, there will be recrimination and accusation, fingers pointing to determine whose failure allowed this to happen and what can be done to prevent it from happening again.

There will be heightened security, misguided talk of revoking basic freedoms. We'll go forward from this moment sobered, chastened, sad. But determined, too. Unimaginably determined.

You see, the steel in us is not always readily apparent. That aspect of our character is seldom understood by people who don't know us well. On this day, the family's bickering is put on hold.

As Americans we will weep, as Americans we will mourn, and as Americans, we will rise in defense of all that we cherish.

So I ask again: What was it you hoped to teach us? It occurs to me that maybe you just wanted us to know the depths of your hatred. If that's the case, consider the message received. And take this message in exchange: You don't know my people. You don't know what we're capable of.

You don't know what you just started.

But you're about to learn.
