Message for London

Message for London, originally uploaded by kimhs.

This photo is more telling than anything I could write this week. It will be posted sometime soon on the website listed below. We are not afraid.com is a grassroots effort based in London showcasing messages from people all over the globe. It is a way of giving the stiff middle finger to not only the terrorists in the UK, but operatives of Al Qaeda the world over.

FDR said that the only thing to fear is fear itself. Yes, the terrorists can kill some of us and maim and wound others, but they cannot kill us all. The only true power they have over us is the ability to sow the seeds of panic and fear and force us to change our world in order to accomodate them. We can - unlike those unfortunate people riding the tube or the bus in London last week - choose not to do this.

We are not afraid. Damn right.
