My favorite part of this website (next to people trying to label poetry) is when people write a relatively weak poem in regards to 9/11 that is harshly received (and yes personal attacks were made due to the subject matter I suppose, but I stuck to the poem) and then make a come back like, "well, okay you Americans lost so many people, but 5 billion people die each day, so there." What kind of logic is in that? Why must you bandy peoples lives? It is quite odd, but you are not the first to do it. It seems to be a natural reaction coming from people.
