To me this memorial is also part of a growing tendency or need for private people to construct or interpret the past publicly. The task for the modern museum was to construct a shared past, but increasingly this has been taken over by individuals.

I have tried Second Life twice, but I don't think my laptop is good enough to process the graphics properly. I can't help feeling like I'm missing out on something.<BR/><BR/>Anna (W) went to Ground Zero recently and took some interesting photos of the impromptu memorials which have sprung up around the perimeter.
