Hi Flex,
I was wondering how you and your family are doing after the bombing.

We weren't directly involved or know anyone personally who was involved, as I don't live near London or have family or friends there that I know of.

However, as it was an attack on the country in which I live, it does feel close to home, moreso than the bombs in Iraq, for instance.

I know that people in London and rest of the country are strong and resilient, and that's what the media constantly blares out.
This is true of course, however the mood has changed one week on.

The major thing is, people are really peed off that this could happen in the first place.It's all very well saying "they can't get us down, blah blah" and the police saying "there is nothing, in essence, we can do to stop a suicide bomber"
Well, hmm, how comforting.

There is always something that can be done, and that is to go to the root of the problem.
Maybe the police and politicans should read Scheele's "Natural Brilliance" book, to learn how to solve problems.
The bombers were British themselves, we have now found out.
That is what caused the mood to turn from pure defiance to reflection on how on earth such pathetic events could occur.

If I was in London, I would not like to travel on the trains or buses.You'll never hear that in the media though.

Thanks for asking.
