Sinister: another response from u.k.

Condolences to all in NY. Hang in there. If I know the NY spirit in two years time you will have rebuilt those towers, but even higher. I've been up the World Trade Centre, about four years ago. All I can think of now is the top floor with the nets outside to stop you throwing things, the black linoleum floor, the plinths explaining the views of New York, the lounge music, the bored staff, the hot dog machine, some nice macaroni I had - all dissolved. I'm meant to be going to San Fran next week, but I don't know if I will. I might go out of solidarity, but my parents want me to stay. I know people who live on Bleeker in the West Village, will they still be there, will they be forced to move by America's second Dust Bowl? Hopefully, all sinisterines will be in NY next year to see B and S play at Radio City - that would be nice... _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: I can't think of anything appropriate
by William Harris 11 Sep '01

11 Sep '01

Dearest Comrades, Before I go home from work to attempt (in some way) to make today's events somehow seem real (for now they seem sadly like a bad movie) I ran across the following quote. "You are never dedicated to something you have complete confidence in. No one is fanatically shouting that the sun is going to rise tomorrow. They KNOW it's going to rise tomorrow. When people are fanatically dedicated to political or religious faiths or any other kinds of dogmas or goals, it's always because these dogmas or goals are in doubt." - Robert M. Pirsig in "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" Of course no one knows (yet) who did it and I don't necessarily mean to imply it was a religious group, but I thought this was apt anyway in light of "the troubles" in N. Ireland, the bombings in Isreal, etc. This is a cold and hollow day. The mind boggles. Prayers and condolensences to those affected by today's doings. I must go home now to see if I have been...

Sinister: how did the world end up here?
by Desmond Torpey 11 Sep '01

11 Sep '01

hello.. ..i dont really have anything new to say...i started hearing stuff around three o clock at work...what i thought were stupid exageratted stories...then they let us out an hour early....i saw the pictures on the tv screens as i walked home...a group of people just stood staring into the electrical shop windows...trying to comprehend something so sickeningly awful...something that would have been dreamt up by a hollywood scriptwriter and should have stayed there..and then its real...i dont think i'll ever get my head around how people can do this to each other...i wish that those responsible could read the posts that i've seen today...the fear and pain and anguish that they've caused...and they could also see that whatever happens and however fucked the world gets and whatever pain they cause, peoples hope and love and the goodness of their hearts always gets through in the end...hate breeds hate and i dont think the cycle ever ends...events like today reminded me of this fact in the most horryfying way...Bush,Blair Saddam Hussein or Osama Bin Laden may arm themselves to the teeth and blow seven tons of shit out of the world but they'll always find something new to argue about..i just hold out hope that they'll never crush the human spirit...this is bullshit to the people whove lost those that they've love today or any other day becuase i cant even begin to possibly imagine how they feel...i just hope things work out...because right now the world seems a sad scary and very lonely place... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: This day will go down in infamy
by Paul Arathoon 11 Sep '01

11 Sep '01

All I did all day from 1.30pm was watch CNN, Reuters wires, BBC tv and radio and Sky news. All that matters is this. Nothing can make me think of anything else. Fuck music, fuck my mundane moans about stuff that doesnt matter. B&S have a single out in November. I dont care about it. fuck it, don't release it. Couldnt care if I never hear it. Two weeks ago I was under the World Trade Center. It could have been me. I know people through work in the WTC. Fuck knows how they are; lower manhatten has no communication facilities anymore. Seeing the tower collapse live is something that I will never forget. watching a pub descend into absolute silence as Tony Blair, our Prime Minister made a state of the nation type speech was moving beyond words What at 1.30pm GMT seemed to be a tragic accident has turned into the worst nightmare possible. God help anyone there. How many people have died? Numbers don't matter. think of the families. And may God take terrible revenge upon those currently dancing in the streets celebrating this tragedy. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: disbelief
by Robert Brennan 11 Sep '01

11 Sep '01

Disbelief I can't express everything I've felt about everything I've seen and heard today. I've been shocked, sick, afraid and deeply saddened. The images will never go away. My sincere condolences to everyone in the US who has been the slightest bit affected by today's terrible events. The news of so many people rushing to give blood or help in any way has been encouraging. Humanity's best and truest spirit seems to shine brightest in the face of disaster. The political fallout from this is frightening. Talk of war and reprisals with few ideas about who is to be punished. Indiscriminate hate must not be met with more indiscriminate hate. That's all. Sorry it's a little incoherent. Robster ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: I'm afraid I've nothing flowery to say
by MotherSuperior8＠aol.com 11 Sep '01

11 Sep '01

I don't usually post unless I've got B&S tickets to sell or something, but I felt that I should add my voice to all the others and give my condolences to any of those affected by today's tragedy. And as appalled as I am by what happened and no matter how many times I flip off the little kids on the television in Palestine laughing and flashing peace signs out of joy for the blow given to "the head of the snake" today I desperately hope that this doesn't escalate into a war.

Sinister: no subject
by Feather Boa 11 Sep '01

11 Sep '01

dear Sinister. oh God. i was doing work experience at the telegraph newspaper in canary wharf, having my lunch when it happened. what with it being a newspaper and all there was quite a lot of excitement but i felt sick. we had to get evacuated in case the planes came to london (canary wharf being the highest thing around). i went home before they closed the tube station. i think i might cry now. please let it be alright, and not the beginning of ww3 or anything. on a slightly lighter note b&s are in portland, oregon tonight. i'm glad they didn't tour the east coast. i feel better reading everyone else's posts. glad to know i'm not the only one. with love & hugs FB X _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
