I toyed around with my reply but it's true. I have walked by that thing every day for the last year and half, and I'm sick and tired of it. I imagine that people who have been seeing it for the past 4 1/2 years must be all the more fed up with it.

It's a symbol of failure and gridlock, that hole. The dead aren't honored by that, imho. The tourists and the gawkers...someone called the PATH train in the hole the "Disney ride from Hell." Maybe we should leave Disney in the sun belt, and put the World Trade Center back to work.

If that's what he's talking about, I think his writing is pretty compelling. The grammar is atrocious, but maybe that's just a stylistic thing.

And - you're right, time to get on with it. A memorial, not a hole in the ground.

I was there a month ago. It's become a cheapened tourist attraction with scumbags hanging around hawking glossy photos of what once was. They will do the Boston Big Dig proud.

The longer the "hole" stays there the more the terrorists can say they won.

I'd like that to NOT happen.

it's a pure disgrace. it's my contention that during any generation in the past they would have been rebuilt lickity-split. if reagan were president the towers would be standing as we post. it's frustration at it's apogee.
