I don't see any value in having things named "Freedom" in a country where there is less freedom every day. It's a little too Ingsoc for me.

For example, if the building was named "Hugo Chavez Tower" and I could take my Leatherman on an airline flight, on balance I'd call that a plus.

I agree. I hate that I can't take a pocket knife on board like I used to. It was the only form of self defense available and they took that away.

Right. The air-head chick on Fox & Friends this morning (yes, I know her name) was complaining that the Chinese probably made them take it off as they’re the first major tenants, and they aren’t free and don’t like freedom. People don’t get that those who like to TALK about freedom the most are the ones with the least of it. WTC is fine. I thought “Freedom Tower” was at best a little bit gay, and at worst a supression of what happened there that day.
