*** I received this sensational idea in e-mail today (9/15/01)! Please read 
below:

"If you are like me you are feeling deep, heart-wrenching emotions
about the terrorist attack this past Tuesday. I feel tremendous grief
for those that lost their lives not to mention the sadness I feel for
their families and friends left behind. I also feel rage towards the 
terrorists responsible for this heinous act. I am sure that I am not
alone in my desire to seek justice. However, justice may take some time to 
fully realize. In the meantime, this is something everyone can do:

FIGHT BACK BY BUYING SOMETHING! 

"Buy that computer you have been wanting, buy a car or a sofa.
Buy a music CD if that is all you afford to spare. 
Buy a present for your friends and family. 
Donate to your favorite charity. 
Take all of your friends out to your favorite restaurant. 
Celebrate life, love and all that is good. 

WHEN THE STOCK MARKET OPENS ... BUY!! DON'T SELL!! 

"100 dollars invested by every person in the U.S. will add over 2 billion 
dollars to the market. Imagine the faces of those (expletive) when they see 
our market rise from the ashes instead of falling!!!!
I hope we can come together and show the world that
we will not be intimidated and that terrorism doesn't work. 
We must not let them achieve their objective of our crippling our 
economy. When you finish reading go right to your favorite website and 
pick up something. When you do it tell yourself you are doing it for
all those who have '... laid such a costly sacrifice on the alter of freedom' 
- 
Abraham Lincoln."
