...then came Sept. 11th and its aftermath, and everything changed. My cynicism about organized religion intensified even more. Because of some religious fundamentalists, part of my city was gone forever. And because of that event, religious fundamentalism of a surprisingly similar ilk captured the heart of our country. The use of religion by Bush and his cohort to manipulate America is one of the most appalling phenomena I have ever witnessed. It ate away at me, filled me with disgust. The opiate of the masses indeed, I thought...
Oddly though, he briefly does try to make G-rated versions of Aftermath tracks; “Could U Love Me” is an empty echo of 50 Cent’s “21 Questions.” Unfortunately, it lacks the growl and the danger that propels that former track’s narrative.

...reawakening of Nevado del Ruiz was the second cataclysm to strike Latin America in two months. In Mexico, the government of President Miguel de la Madrid Hurtado was still coping painfully with the aftermath of the Sept. 19 earthquake, which left as many as 20,000 dead and, by some estimates, up to 150,000 homeless. Colombia's volcanic catastrophe seemed especially poignant in a country that has been plagued since World War II by a seemingly endless series of man-made travails: civil war, leftist terrorism and battles with a powerful and entrenched drug mafia. Said Colombian President Belisario...
