I don't mean that all these poor folk didn't die but that some other group was involved in the planes hitting the towers... an inside job etc.. there are a number of things which don't add up... I don't know whether conspiracies were involved but there's something not quite right about it - know what I mean ?

Hi Boomer,

Why is it that the folk with common sense and feelings who should be in government aren't and those who shouldn't be are.... Your suggestions show a lot more sense.

I feel so sorry for those who lost loved ones and see how little the powers that be feel for them... It seems so callous to just leave the area as it is atm.

Thanks for dropping by my blog. I enjoyed my visit to yours. Coming from the other side of the world, I don't have a strong opinion on this subject but think I can understand your feelings.

Yes, I agree with you and several noters. A memorial park and a small museum would be an apt reminder.

2010-02-27T12:58:38.641-05:00

One is put in mind of the epitaph of the great architect, Sir Christopher Wrenn, that adorns St. Paul's in London, "Si monumentum requiris, circumspice." (If you seek his monument, look about you.")

Of course, this was to commemorate a work of lasting beauty while the 9/11 memorial is meant in part as a remembrance of a work of horrific evil. I say in part because

As a NYer I totally concur with your views!!

2010-02-25T16:06:58.881-05:00

I agree. I was there on 9-11 of the following year, and obviously the pit was still undergoing some cleaning and clearing of debris, but for the most part the area was surprising cleared. I think the park idea is a great way to remember those who died and the strength of the community to pull together in their time of need. If I had lost a loved one there I would much rather them be "buried&

Hum....maybe a museum or exhibit that is explicit enough that we don't forget.

Nice post!

2010-02-25T10:56:48.893-05:00

No, it's not just you, it's me as well! But I must say, though I haven't thought of it before, leaving it as it is ought to be a horrific reminder to our nation of how much we have to lose. All these years later we are still squabbling among ourselves!

Laurie G...You are too kind. Thanks for the swell flattery but why stop at V.P.? Ha, just kidding. I'm actually too honest to be in politics, way too efficient and organized and too politically incorrect. Glad you like my heading redesign. My brilliant son did it for me.

2010-02-25T08:10:18.266-05:00

Actually that would maybe make that a very "special" place. I like a park/memorial approach myself.

That's why Boomer Pie, you should be Vice President of the World. And by the way, I love love love your blog and your snazzy header:-) www.lgpromarketing.com

You make a very good point,WTWA. Can I call you "Wow"? I understand what you mean about seeing the site in it's "bombshell crater" state. The site "as is" certainly leaves a huge dramatic impact for visitors...as it did for you. They might be better off leaving it like that and removing all the construction equipment. What's disgraceful is all the

2010-02-24T17:24:24.311-05:00

I have mixed feelings on this. Have you been to the site? I was there a few years ago. It's difficult to describe the emotions I felt and I can't possibly explain what the site must mean to others. I don't feel like it's insutling or a disgrace to be in the state it is today. I do wish they'd just figure out a memorial and get it done. But right now, in the state it is,

2010-02-24T15:29:13.568-05:00

Totally agree. I didn't know about this. It should be a green, peaceful space, as you say. It's a slap in the face for people who lost loved ones, that's for sure.

2010-02-24T13:29:53.727-05:00

in 2days world tragedies are replaced by monumental structures by even bigger ones to show the terrorists that they hv nt won. this makes them even softer targets.ALAS!!

2010-02-24T13:00:41.384-05:00

I feel exactly the same way that all of you do!! And the Oklahoma City Memorial would be perfect. However, I don't have much hope that the money-mad would see that as being profitable! Great post!

If I had donated even a penny to that memorial I would be livid that its still a pit.

We saw the memorial in Oklahoma City last year and it was perfect, tranquil.

Isn't that New York (and really all of us) need after this... a place of tranquility?

When I read your ideas on the NYC memorial I immediately thought of the Oklahoma City Memorial. It's very nice.
