London - the Olympic citizens
Driving back from JavaForum yesterday and I caught the sad news from London, which then accompanied me via radio for my complete 4 hr trip from Stuttgart to Paderborn. Plenty has been written about what happened and while it is clear that there is no such thing as complete protection from this type of thing, I think the clearest message has to be that we are not going to stay in bed and pull the covers up over our heads in fear.
Or as the London News Review wrote here:
And that's because we're better than you. Everyone is better than you. Our city works. We rather like it. And we're going to go about our lives. We're going to take care of the lives you ruined. And then we're going to work. And we're going down the pub.
