this is their reply:

Thank you for writing to Secretary Powell via email. We are
deeply encouraged by the responses and outpouring of support
we have received from citizens and leaders around the world.
As the Secretary said in a press briefing on September 12,
2001, it will be a priority of the Bush Administration and
of the U.S. State Department to build an international
coalition to fight terrorism.

The Secretary receives so much mail that he cannot personally
review each message. On behalf of the Secretary, the State
Department's public information officers in the Public
Communication Division, Office of Public and Intergovernmental
Liaison, read each email received. Emails solely expressing
foreign policy opinions or congratulating the Secretary
are carefully recorded. The Secretary is committed to
keeping in touch with people throughout the United States
and the world. Please see the Secretary's web pages at:
http://state.gov/secretary/ and the main State
Department homepage at http://state.gov/ which provides
a one-stop web site for a wide variety of information
from the U.S. State Department.

Your continued interest and participation in foreign
affairs is very important to the Secretary. For
more information, please contact the Bureau of Public
Affairs at: Public Communication Division PA/PIL/PC, U.S.
State Department Washington, D.C. 20520 Tel: 202-647-6575
Email: askpublicaffairs@state.gov

Best wishes, and thank you for writing to the
U.S. Department of State.

> I have witnessed a coming together from people here in Manhattan. People
are consoling, hugging, writing messages on cardboard in Union Square,
lighting candles, being more courteous and patient, smiling at each other.
A group of us had a prayer session at one end of union square. We prayed
for those killed those injured, the families of both. We prayed for the
mental health of those involved and wisdom for the counselors, strength for
the medical staff, perseverance for rescue workers.
> A friend here has his cousin - a firefighter - missing. We gathered
around him.
> We prayed for those affected economically, for those afraid, for those
now homeless. For the mental and ophysical health of the children.
> Then there was the celebration. The thanks for being alive, for an extra
day, an extra minute. Life is a gift. We don't earn the right to birth.
Every moment is a bonus. Any of us can go at any time, in a car accident or
an horrific event such as this.
>I have no fear of death were it to befall me. I know where I am going. I
am relishing every instant of this life, and have done since I became alert
to the fragile mortality we possess years ago. It is times like this that
reinforce that. Ram it home. I try and remember the lessons so that I don't
have to re-learn them the hard way.
> Life is good. Go out side get some sky and some wind. Drink some water
and give thanks for survival. Do this rather than giving in to despair, to
quarreling, to fixating on the problems of America, or vengance or Bushes
failings, or Bin Ladens lunacy. Find the positives from this. People can
and are drawing together from this tragedy, just as they can give way to
anger, hate and arguments both in the streets of Dallas or on a public
message board.
> Let us pull together. None of us here is a suicidal terrorist, so let us
be glad of each others views, as hurtful or "wrong" they may be. Conversely
let us show sensativity at this time. Emotions - fear, confusion, anger,
patriotism, a sense of violation and trepidation of times to come - are
running high. Fuses are short. When the dust settles (literally) there will
be time for self analysis, time for change, time for directional
assessment. For now let us be as one. One in our humanity and in the very
fact that we are alive.
>Hallelujah

hmm, you should send them something completely random and see what their response is

------------------
It's simple. Once the Planet is hurt, it gathers Spirit Energy to heal the injury. The amount of energy gathered depends on the size of the injury...What would happen if there was an injury that threatened the very life of the Planet? Think how much energy would be gathered! Ha, ha, ha. And at the center of that injury, wil be me. All that boundless energy will be mine. By merging with the energy of the Planet, I will be come a new life form, a new existence. Melding with the Planet, I will cease to exist as I am now. Only to be reborn as a 'God' to rule over every living soul.
