Post 9/11...A Day to Remember

As a New Yorker who works near the World Trade Center, I'd like to take a moment to pay my respects to all those who died on this day, one year ago. We're all so lucky that we're alive today to be able to discuss such unimportant things like the Treo 300 and such. God bless us all.

As a former New Yorker who used to work near the World Trade Center, I'd like to echo that.

Exclamation Rebuild the Trade Center Buildings

I feel that the best way to show the world that our nation can recover from any attack is to rebuild the Trade Center buildings with a memorial park between them.

Use the frozen assets of the groups deemed responsible for the attacks to help finance the rebuilding.

Hmm, not to raise the ire of current and former New Yorker's, but in all the pictures I've seen since 9/11, the skyline seems more "balanced" (as he tries to use those artsy terms he's been learning recently ) without the towers.

Everything else I agree with, though.

As a native New Yorker and as one who not only lost one of my closest friends but also two softball teammates, I say do NOT rebuild the towers. Take the entire area and make it into a cultural center/museum/park with a memorial on the original footprints. There is plenty of other space to build reasonably sized office buildings to replace the lost footage.

Personally, I'd rather see them rebuilt bigger, primarily as a gesture of defiance. However, there is no "right answer" here; and frankly I'm very glad the decision isn't up to me.
