There was a reason the fanatics who attacked the United States September 11 chose a non-military target in New York. New York is full of everything they hate: Jews, homosexuals, uppity women, sexy entertainment, music, religious diversity, and mouthy individualists who believe they have a right to choose the way they live. And all of us who think those things are worth having or at least have a right to exist need to know that the city took a hit for us. So we have a suggestion to fight back. Visit New York now and spend some money. You will never get a better deal or be more welcome.
We can also fight back by standing up for American religious freedom. If your community has experienced any bigoted incidents directed toward Muslim Americans or Americans who may look like Muslims (such as Sikhs), take action. Call your church, your temple, or your synagogue and set up a partnership with a local mosque or Sikh temple. Offer to escort women who wear the hejab, chador, turban, or burkha on errands around town. Talk to your children about prejudice. We must fight our enemies not each other.

We just spoke to a representative of City Harvest, a charitable group that helps New York City restaurants donate unused food to the hungry, and they are desperate for help now. Not only are they finding more people in need in their relief efforts downtown, but the restaurants they count on to donate food have been so hard hit, that donations are down. You can help them directly by sending money to City Harvest (follow our link), or indirectly by traveling to New York City and eating in restaurants.

The Tunnel No End sign is one of the great traffic artifacts of Boston and likely to be replaced once the Central Artery comes off Prozac sometime next century.
