World of today

[Daniel van Eijmeren]

Dear everyone,

I also want to express my concern and grief about what is happening in 
the world since last Tuesday. I am deeply shocked by what I have seen
on television and (how can I hide it?) very scared of the future as it 
looks today.

My heart, tears and thoughts are with the victims, their friends 
and family.

I don't think that anyone here should think of being "off-topic" 
when talking about this horrible situation. We are not just a few 
comic book collectors, we are people. And I think that we now need 
each other more as *people* than as comic book fellows.

This is more than any sensible person can bear. We cannot prohibit
each other to talk about it freely, just to have a nice discussion 
of about ducks and mice. Looking at the emails so far, there isn't 
much interest in that anyway. I think it's top priority that we 
keep in *contact* with each other. Being concerned about each other
and about the world is IN-TOPIC. Everything else is inferior.

At this moment, I can't read a duck comic, even if I would be 
forced to do it. 


Love and hope to all of you,

--- Daniel
