What's Up? How do you feel about the stock markets?
Do you believe the war on terrorists will have an impact?
This is a Moderated Forum for a small group of Democrats who have been unable to express political or economic opinion without harassment from bullies on open threads..
In this closed but small space we hope to find a safe harbor for political and economic discussions so I have limited the discussion on this thread to:
1) Tiger Paw
2) Patricia C. Trinchero
3) Kenneth E. Phillips
I hope that they will feel free to share their thoughts on politics and the stock markets.

How do we cope with the September 11, 2001 Terrorists Attack on America? Poetry is one way.

What Are Years?
By Marianne Moore (1887 - 1972)
What is our innocence,
what is our guilt? All are
naked, none is safe. And whence
is courage: the unanswered question,
the resolute doubt, -
dumbly calling, deafly listening-that
in misfortune, even death,
encourage others
and in it's defeat, stirs
the soul to be strong? He
sees deep and is glad, who
accededs to mortality
and in his imprisonment rises
upon himself as
the sea in a chasm, struggling to be
free and unable to be,
in its surrendering
finds its continuing.
So he who strongly feels,
behaves. The very bird,
grown taller as he sings, steels
his form straight up. Though he is captive,
his mighty singing
says, satisfaction is a lowly
thing, how pure a thing is joy.
This is mortality,
this is eternity.
