After a traumatic event.
Such as the earthquake in Haiti of last year and 911 in 2001.
There's a lot of good will, that soon is gone.
There wasn't much world wide response to the flooding in Pakistan.
Was that dued to the country being mostly Muslim?
Do we now base our charity on other's faith?
I would hope and pray that we could come together without a traumatic event.
Towards the end of this month, many cities in the USA will be having 'Trick or Treat' night.
Some cities won't have none that because of faith of some of the city citizens.
The day after, Mexico will be celebrating the Day of the Dead (Dia de los muertos).
They celebrate the lives of all before them.
Maybe we should incorporate some of that in our celebrating of Halloween.
With that I'll close for now.
Semper Fidelis

It must be passed down.

Until it becomes our nature."
