The report "Orchestra will perform tribute" (The Argus, September 19) struck exactly the right note for those of us with a nose for a dollar-earner, even in the most terrible of circumstances.

Our American cousins didn't take too long before T-shirts and the Stars And Stripes were being sold on the dusty streets. And that is as it should be, since it showed those who perpetrated these terrible events that the good old adage "Forget your luck, make a buck" holds true for the US capitalist system as a flag of defiance to those who try to smash the American way of life. So go to it, Sussex Symphony Orchestra and Mark James.
