Rebuild The Towers!

[yyz28]

Why do we still have a giant hole in the ground in Lower Manhattan? ...the utimate victory is to rebuild the buildings the way they were, only about 10 stories taller.

I'd even take one of those ugly memorials at this point, but it's time to bring ground zero back.

We still have a giant hole in the ground because the government is involved. The same folks who some people want to run our health care system. If the government had stayed out of the way the towers or a replacement would probable be well on their way to being rebuilt...not at the snail's pace it is progressing. But, I am more than pleased to see some progress being made. Get it done...if for no other reason than to stick it in the eye of the folks who thought they could put a "black eye" on America by bringing them down in the first place.

Got to get this project completed...it means so very much. May God bless and protect all those who work each and every day to keep America and its citizens safe from this sort of harm, and may God bless and protect our "first responders" who each and every day place their lives on the line for the rest of us. Heroes all!

My hope was that they'd be rebuilt, but smaller. I get the symbolism argument, but the Empire State Building has reclaimed its place of prominence on the NYC skyline and I and many others believe that it should be the tallest building on Manhattan Island.

Oh, good... so maybe it will be done by the 12th anniversary.

...It has just taken entirely too long and been far too much of a bicker-fest.

This would have been my preferred design:

I think he just solved who is behind the destruction of their towers.

And here I was thinking it was an angry and vengeful God.
