It would be fine to call the whole complex the WTC but the name “freedom tower” was only going to be given to one tower from the looks of things.

We’re just lucky they’re not renaming it “The One’s World Trade Center.”

I still think they should have taken Donald Trump up on his offer to rebuild the towers, bigger and taller than they had been. Now it's going to be like putting a parking lot over an old cemetery. The memories will be there, but it's hardly a memorial. As for Pennsylvania, personally, I think they should erect a single granite wall that simply states: Flight 93--Thank you September 11, 2001 then lists the names of the passengers and crew under that.

I like it. Screw you, towelheads, we rebuilt the WTC.Agreed. I, for one, still think that we should have rebuilt the towers with the original design. (Only taller!)

I’ve seen that Rockwell poster before. I’ve always interpreted it that the first two enable the second two. But that’s just me.

There are “World Trade Centers” everywhere — almost as common as “Main street.” I’ll go for it if we call it “ZERO World Trade Center” though.

“TERRORISM TOWER.”
That is SO 2008! Haven’t you heard it is “Man-Caused Diaster Tower” now.
To: Above My Pay Grade
Yup, heard that and can’t post what I think of it.

Money Trumps Patriotism in the Name Change to 1 WTCAh, yes. Capitalism at work. Sometimes Freepers are all for capitalism: sometimes we're not. Go figure.
Nah, I think that we are all trying to wrap our brain around what's happening and why. It's normal to knee-jerk not like the change, given that it's been such a symbol of 9/11. But the feelings will probably even out & we'll start using our heads.
What I find a little funny is the responses that say, "I'd make it taller or rebuild what was there before, or etc." and "I'd do this (or that)".
The developer is doing what he he has to do to rent the place. We forget that the place isn't "ours", it's his and it's a business. If it was our real estate, then we could do what we want -- but it's not.

calling it “The Freedom Tower”.

If its a government project without the intent to make a profit thats different. exactly... and to me, the name--Freedom Tower--sounds like a government project or a ride at a patriotic-themed amusement park... it think it's an awful-sounding name...

I really liked that plan. It would have shown our enemy the futility of their efforts.
There really is no excuse for the Tower or Towers not being rebuilt by now.

Hey Fuddie! I get to be here today! We had a blizzard yesterday and it’s still snowing. The roads are frozen solid, and Schriever AFB, where I work, is closed. It’s about 10 miles east of town, out on the prairie.
So here I am, delighted to have a day off, listen to Rush, and be on the thread.
As for the tower, I still want the U.N. to be moved to its top 10 floors.

I’m sorry, but “Freedom Towers” ranks right up there with “Freedom Fries”. It was The World Trade Center before and it should be The World Trade Center again.

Putting the UN there is a great idea. Good to see you, AQ!
