   A bomb went off in paradise! What kind of animals are we dealing with? Who in their right mind could give life such little value and what kind of a God do they follow?
   How could anyone who spent any time on this beautiful Island, with the fantastic Balinese people, retain such hate. Bali lifts spirits, makes sadness go away. All the time I spent there I saw nothing but happiness, had nothing but fun. What kind of hate is so strong that the goodness of a place like Bali doesn't make them see the beauty of life. How brainwashed are they?
   I've been to the Sari Nightclub on every trip I took to Bali. It had a great atmosphere with two bars and lots of Aussies, (Great party people.). Most of the patrons are young, 18 to 30. Young enough to enjoy the friendship of strangers, too young to die. My heart & my prayers go out to those who lost their lives to these madman.
   I intend to return to Bali, I have to, once you've spent anytime on the "Isle of the Gods." You can't stay away, but now it will have a sadness hanging over it, as does New York. A sadness that the whole world feels. Where can we go to feel safe? These animals are assimilated into our society. In almost every country in the world. Where can we hide? So I'll just go on living & enjoying myself without thinking about the horrors that are out there. We have to live & if we're constantly watching our backs, that life won't be a happy one. I for one won't let the animals win.
   So my recommendation is as always. Go to Bali, see the most beautiful Island in the world and meet some of the nicest people you'll ever meet and forget about the animals.     Al.
