What We Can Do
Garrett Mok
Do not misdirect your anger. Our Arab-American neighbors had nothing to do with
this. Understand the crucial differences between a Muslim and a militant
fundamentalist. There are hundreds of thousands of Muslims around the world who are
lighting candles and offering prayers for our victims as we speak, and condemn terrorism
as we do.
Check your collegiate idealism and pacifism at the door. You heard the President. No matter what you think of him personally, stand
behind him and our military. This is war. Bombs will be dropped. Ground forces will land. The guilty will die. It sucks, but that’s the truth.
Buy stock. Our financial markets have been
rattled. Send a signal by buying as much
stock as you can. Show confidence in the
world’s #1 economy.
Donate goods and services. Specialists in
mental health profession will be in much demand as survivors cope with the aftermath of
this incredible loss. Office space will be
needed for the firms who have been displaced. Infrastructural
services will be needed such as telecommunication and data connections.
| My company, IGM, is donating IT services to any
firm/individual whose offices were displaced in the WTC tragedy, including the WTC
buildings themselves and office buildings surrounding the area, such as the World
Financial Center. If you have office in any
of the nearby buildings that were damaged and need immediate IT support, such as downed
servers and network, go to http://www.ingaugemedia.com/wtc_help.html. |
Be good to ourselves.
This unheralded tragedy is bringing out the best in all of us. We all deserve credit for being strong and
resourceful. We’ll get through this.
