Guest guest Posted September 25, 2001 Report Share Posted September 25, 2001 Dear Compassionate Person, During the past couple of weeks the United States has been hit with some hardcore attacks. Innocent people were killed, the United States was shocked and brought to its knees, not from being destroyed, but we were brought to our knees in prayer and praise. We prayed to our creator as to how something like this could happen, and what the purpose of these attacks were. Today I read a disturbing article about myself. I'm sure most of you are familiar with Brian Carnell, and/or http://www.animalrights.net. On July 27, 2001 Brian wrote about my criticisms to the animal rights movements. He took my words and quoted me, and twisted my meanings, he also made a attempt to get Bruce Friedrich and myself in an arguement, by asking if " Friedrich will be up to the intellectual challenge of taking on a teenager's rather eloquent arguement against violence. " Many of you don't know me, and most of you do not know how I operate. Some of you question my leadership abilities, and maturity for being a 15 year old boy, but no matter what what you think about me, I hope that you have the maturity to talk to me about my issues, and not to post things on the interenet that I will not read for 2 months. I may disagree with many things that the animal rights movement does, and how they do it, but I have no problem with its message, and I have no problem with its goals. With that being said, I hope that in this time of prayer for the community and United States, I also hope that you pray for people. That somehow they can be shown compassion they deserve, and that some how with the grace of God, they will show that compassion towards others. It has gotten to that point where Compassion needs to be todays motive, and not violence. For we shall get further with compassion and understanding, than we have any come in any war. Pray for America, Your Brother in Freedom, Ryan Courtade Love All Animals - http://www.loveallanimals.com Join Love All Animals - http://www.loveallanimals.com/join/join.asp Action Alerts - http://www.loveallanimals.com/alerts/Listings.asp Add an Action Alert - http://www.loveallanimals.com/alerts/AddAlert.asp?new=1 Events - http://www.loveallanimals.com/events/Listings.asp Add An Event - http://www.loveallanimals.com/events/AddEvent.asp?new=1 Animal Adoptions - http://www.loveallanimals.com/pets/Listings.asp Add A Listing - Pets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
