Appropriately enough, the first performances will be in Auckland and Wellington. http://www.rollingrequiem.org/list.html Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: Turn off the TV on Sep 11 #79546 09/10/02 04:31 PM Joined: Oct 2000 Posts: 1,346 Sussex, England F FishonaBike veteran FishonaBike veteran F Joined: Oct 2000 Posts: 1,346 Sussex, England It's not a question so much of avoiding strong negative feelings as it is of allowing television to invade our hearts Hear, hear. A good general principle, indeed - though one that is difficult to put into practice. I think silence and/or music is just right for the event, and the Rolling Requiem is a wonderful idea.

On a personal note : today I had business that took me to Portsmouth Naval Shipyard. The gate I usually use was shut tight, metal grid fences and those big cement blocks across the gate. So off to the Main Gate - where the cement blocks were placed randomly making it necessary to weave throough them caefully and slowly. At the guard post all IDs were being checked carefully and the guards were regular troops (under arms) not the usual shipyard security force. More troops were to be seen on patrol. It really made me think about tomorrow. Then I drove by the Shipyard Fire Station. Some of the firefighters were standing outside and in the center of the front of the building was a huge poster of the firefighters raising the flag at the Twin Towers site. I just lost it. Had to pull over and pull myself together. Strange how an unexpected thing can grab you unawares, isn't it.
