The People's Lounge



I'll personally never forget that fateful day... working from home, I watched it all unfold right before my eyes, on the television... it was horrifying. My favorite American city... my favorite buildings... all those people.

Tell us about what you remember... where you were, what you saw... what you felt... as a person, as an American, as an international citizen...

Blessings, Wil/TPL

9-11 is indeed, a day no american will ever forget, that is why it is very important to know what really happened. Recently, I discovered a site that provides the evidence of what really happened. The site is www.americaninquirer.com. I recommend it to anyone, who is trully interested in the events of that day

That day as i remember, i was home preparing to go to class at the C.J.R.C, ( COURT PROGRAM ). By the time i reached class, the discussion about the events of the World was taken place. In disbelief, it was a very humbling experience, because the concern for others began to show itself among those of us that otherwise may have been written off as selfish, self-centered, individuals of the court system. The silence alone, as we watched over the TV., gave the counselors a new perception. That day i am certain we all left with an adjustment and conscious thought for others, as well as a message, as we closed class that day with a prayer.

I am a Nicaraguan citizen, despite living so far away I was not able to stop my tears at all that pain, horror and death, but most of all my tears were of anger and helplessness to see how few criminals had taken the life in your hands of so many innocent people as if they were God, it's incredible to levels so low that it can reach a human being, but the most painful for me was so much loss of life without reason, without justification, the pain of having lost so many people Parents, mothers, sons, brothers, friends, God has in his glory to all these people that their lives were cut short by some unfortunate criminals and help heal the wounds of their families and the entire American people, my sympathy and my love for all that brave people.

Healthy Juices.

Dubai Economic Crisis Hits The World

Is Dubai too big too fail? Earlier this week, officials in the Gulf state announced they needed more time to repay $60 billion in money borrowed to build lavish hotels, manmade islands and the world's tallest skyscraper. World markets slumped because of the news. Economist Simon Johnson, former chief economist for the International Monetary Fund, and Christopher Davidson, author of Dubai: The Vulnerability of Success, discuss the big impact made by the tiny emirate.

A Texan Twist To Visions Of The Holiday Season

For the last three years, journalist Hank Steuver spent the holiday seasons embedded in the Dallas suburb of Frisco. The result is his new book, Tinsel: A Search for America's Christmas Present. Steuver, a writer with the Style section of The Washington Post, goes to the mall and talks about how his Texas adventures gave him a different picture of the holiday season.

In Movie, A New Look At Orson Welles

Yemen Tries To Break Addiction To Popular Leaf

The Gulf state of Yemen faces a raft of political and security troubles — not to mention a looming water crisis that experts say is exacerbated by the country’s devotion to qat, a mildly narcotic leaf Yemenis love to chew. Growing qat is draining Yemen's scarce water supply. Recently, however, new anti-qat campaigns have begun to spring up around the country.

In 'The Road,' World Ends With Whimper

The Road's grim vision sold a lot of books, but was regarded as so unlikely to attract a movie audience that it sat on Hollywood's shelf for more than a year. Talk circulated about attempts to sweeten it. But it seems unlikely that many viewers will complain that the movie is insufficiently bleak. There may be other complaints.

In New Ad, Chair Floats To Space

A new TV ad features an unassuming orange armchair making a trip to the edge of space. The video of the chair's ascent while tethered to a balloon has gone viral, popping up in e-mail inboxes around the world. Andy Amadeo, the director of the spot, discusses the ad.

Beatles, Ukulele-Style

What could be better than 12 hours of nonstop Beatles music? How about 12 hours of nonstop Beatles music played on the ukulele? Roger Greenawalt, the man who plays the Beatles' works the way he claims they were meant to be played, ukulele-style, shows off the tunes.

Rectangles Vs. Triangles: The Great Sandwich Debate

You've got a lot of decisions to make as you build that leftover turkey sandwich. One decision you'll probably make with ease is whether to cut the sandwich into triangles or rectangles. If you go for the diagonal slice, you're in good company. Chefs, foodies, an architect and even a mathematician all told us: Diagonal rules. But why?

Want To Break Up? Tis The Season, So Better Hurry

It's not just turkeys that get nervous this time of year. Chances are high that a failing relationship will also meet its end during the holidays. That's because it's not just turkey season — it's turkey drop season.
