Outside Buckingham Palace on September 13th 2001

[Winston OBoogie]

This is the only time in history that another country's national anthem has been played outside Buckingham Palace, apart from during state visits.  It is very moving:

I'm glad we're still friends.

Yes Sir.

John Donne said it much better than I ever could:

"any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind"

Much love to our American friends ...

Wow, thanks for that. Been going down the You Tube philosophy  rabbit hole lately, and those words tied a couple loose ends up nicely.

We really should have more philosophical debate around here. If done right, an individuals political view may make more sense to the opposition. I think most people have the same idea about good, evil, right and wrong etc. Find the shared empathy. Start there and move into social policies to that end. Seems rational, but I'm probably wrong... :-X

An honor to witness such a moving rendition and profound display of solidarity.

  I go down that one too.  Currently bing(e)ing on  'Timeline - World History' docs though.

I don't think you're wrong at all.    I know I could do a whole lot better in that regard.    Onwards and upwards...

Hope you and yours are safe over there, I'm seeing some horrific images of the fires!
