September 11th Remembered in Second Life

September 11th Remembered in Second Life

September 14, 2009

The eighth anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attacks on the United States did not pass unnoticed in Second Life.

New World Notes links to about a dozen assorted SL events commemorating 9/11 and offers this comment:

[T]he reflecting pool pictured above [is] the creation of Liam Kanno... in real life a New York ad executive who lived near Ground Zero, but after the terror attacks, joined a monastery and created the Second Life site, as part of his healing process.

 

Liam's memorial site is where I just met Mark Benelli... He describes himself as a firefighter in real life, based in Germany. He doesn't know any brethren based in New York, but he wore his uniform and visited the memorial site, to pay tribute to their valor on that day...

Valdearg: They beat the parliamentary trick. The senate bill is officially law, pending the President's signature. Now they vote on the fixes to that bill, in the next 15 minutes or so.

Valdearg: I'm staying up late, watching CSPAN and MSNBC, and cheering each and every democrat victory.

Valdearg: Yes indeedy. Even Abortion rights got gutted. Obama's going to pass an EO ensuring no federal funds are used for abortions.

gellymatos: Vald: Who said I didn't like it? I'd get a drink out if there wasn't anything where I am at.

gellymatos: Vald:Well, pretty good day, wouldn't you say?

Valdearg: Dont sound so depressed, Gelly. This bill will help people get healthcare, who can't now. It's a perfectly Christian idea.

gellymatos: Well, it's happened. The House Passed the Health Care Bill. Now things get interesting, to say the least.

Andrew Eisen: No, I think I'll stay safe and warm in my own little world where Provolone is king and that... other cheese... doesn't exist.

JDKJ: I wish the Speaker would ask me for what purpose does the member rise.

JDKJ: Provolone?! Please! Try aged Blue Stilton. Also known as Zippy Ass-Crack Cheese.
Posted 03/21/10 at 06:13pm
Andrew Eisen: Nothing beats Provolone.
Posted 03/21/10 at 06:11pm
JDKJ: Betcha my cheese beats your cheese.

Andrew Eisen: I don't know, I can count pretty high with my graphing calculator. It's a TI-86!

JDKJ: There'll be more dead babies than you can count if the socialists succeed in passing that God-damned Obamacare!!

Andrew Eisen: Hmm, top 10 child deaths in film. What a great blog post that would make! If I had a blog. And if that hadn't been done a million times before.

JDKJ: Whoa! It's some rotten blue cheese, too.
Posted 03/21/10 at 06:00pm
JDKJ: *sighs and smiles* I just cut some cheese.
