Hello
my fellow Americans....Sept 11 will be forever!!!. I still go
surfcasting and I still catch big fish...................but without the
zest I had everyday before this one. Could he have imagined this level
of devastation??.......were his intentions really that horrid?
Evil acts compound themselves........perhaps he never foresaw the
collapse of both the towers and our financial system.......but they
did............and terrorism caused it.............and causes continued
death all over the world. We have become such a powerful military
force, that any beef with us must be from an Achilles heel/terrorism
scenario. We will squelch a lot of it............but it will trickle
on amidst the ocean of life. It always has and always will. Lets make our borders strong...lets make it a privilege to come here and to stay for any length of time. Our civil rights will be compromised.......but we must show tolerance of that...it is the way we can contribute to the cause. We cannot fight the enemy...............but we can show unyielding cooperation towards those that can fight for us. The young...and brave...and multi cultural and multi religion and multi this and that.........but all of them...their parents and their own children have one thing in common.................Freedom..........and we will die before losing it......Cooperate...Stand strong..be an American...believe in our system and leaders.....Cooperate.....and with that in mind, I will resume Angling Lore as it was.. to help be what we are.....the best country in all the world... Resume your life....Fight through fear...My general take on it all, at this point.is,...Now that we know your intentions..now that we know your immorality and hate...now that we know your lack of human compassion...we will be ready. You want us????.........come and try and get us after we chase you down to the ends of the earth........and you loose your blood in the name of Freedom........OUR FREEDOM.
thank you.......Striper Mike

…..I have been here surfcasting and enjoying the lovely Sept weather and incredible striper fishing. I was on the island of…Wonderfulness…Simplicity…..Seemingly isolated from the Real World. But then came Sept 11……This was not what we deemed the real world.....Indeed it turned out to Be a very Unreal World.. The likes of which this country.. Or perhaps the world, has ever seen. Try as I may to redirect my thoughts…Anger…. Grief.. Etc.. through my serene activity of surfcasting…. I could not…The images…rolling like waves from every TV. The horror….the horror….the horror. I tried to convince myself that I was powerless over this.... and….my best route should be one of "General praying" for all the affected families……….Until I found out that I was one of them.!!!!!!..
Diane Snyder was a magnificently beautiful lady....she was mother of 2....and wife to John....and Lifelong companion and cousin to my wife Susan..…And a lady who accepted me as I am…unusual traits and all!. She was also a flight attendant on Flight 11 out of Boston on Sept 11, 2001. May God please take the horror of her final moments from her soul and allow her to be free and beautiful …forever. May God help her mother and father, Susan's aunt and uncle . May God help her brothers and sister and all the very close and loving cousins and of course ...May god hold the hands of her precious children…. She was so beautiful…. Such a good mother…. And wife…..And person…..And so....more WHYS?…May we all give joy for each breath of life and yearn for its mysteries.....because deaths mystique seems gone...we got used to it!!! .....In one day!.....Good Bye Fair Maiden…..
With deep Love…….Michael
God Bless America
