Disaster Strikes

Ever since I heard about the tragedy, I've only seemed capable of two thoughts:

1) I have a *lot* of friends in NY and DC.

2) If we do go to war, the ensuing military spending will do more for the economy than the proposed tax cuts. However, this may be a zero-sum game because consumption decreases (and savings increase) during times of crisis and because the world trade center was hit and because the moratorium on airline travel hamstrings commerce.

so far, everyone i've been able to get ahold of seems to be okay.

i am going to go home and stare blankly at the wall in disbelief.
