I think what's been done so far in NY to communicate with those that are
safe is great.  Using the web to stop this madness - I'm still looking for
that solution.

Even though I saw the ";-)", the picture that was painted was of groups
of brightly clothed folks, sitting on sidewalks, getting in the way of
passersby, playing folk songs.  This type of behavior only does 3 things:
1. make the participants feel good
2. usually leave a mess in it's wake
3. get in everyone else's way.

None of that creates a solution. Usually it just make more problems.

Do I have all the answers?  Nope, I'm the first to admit that.  I'm still
working through my feelings about what happened and what should be done
about it.  I lost too many friends/business associates/acquaintances
to be rational yet.  I'll get there before too long.
