I just came across this site, which shows proposed designs for a 'Freedom Tower' at the World Trade Center site in New York. I'm not too keen on that name -- makes me think of Freedom Fries and like inanity -- but the designs are pretty awesome. So awesome, I find myself thinking 'Well, won't some other maniacs try to knock that down?' Yeah, maybe. But is that enough reason not to do it? I don't think so. Its neither a reason to do it -- Those bastards, we'll show them -- nor a reason not to do it. Do because it can be a glorious symbol; don't do it, because the imagery can exist in many other ways. But, personally?
I hope it gets done.
