We have to hire Baron von Frankenstein to reanimate the rotting corpse of Robert Moses, who will get everyone in a room, knock heads, and build up the site by the end of 2008, early 2009. www.forgotten-ny.com

The problem is that none of the people involved in the whole thing have any sweeping vision and like to hire hack architects who design crap that looks like some crushed metal box you would find in a recycling bin. One of two things should be done: 1. Leave things as is. I think the big hole in the ground is a hell of a lot better that that joke of a memorial the families hate or the horrid Freedom Tower. Every time I take PATH to the WTC station I get chills because I know this isn't right and should not be seeing daylight. 2. Rebuild the Twin Towers. Fix the hole left in the skyline and build something that is a visible memorial. Amazingly Donald Trump was right on this one.

Don't forget Dan Doctoroff in your list of greedy villians. He spoon-fed Bloomberg a questionable analysis that would essentially give Doctoroff an easy way to get new luxury apartments built, and he will profit. Unfortunately, Bloomberg believes everything his beloved Doctoroff says.

huh?

Maybe it's about time we started calling things as they are: Larry Silverstein is an evil, greedy f***. George Pataki is just dumb, dumb, dumb, and can't see what these people are all about. The families are shrouded in their grief to the point that they can't see the bigger picture. The Port Authority is timid, too timid to exert control over land that they own. Put 'em together and what have you got? A big friggin' hole in the ground that dishonors the dead, the survivors, and the city. Their shame should know no bounds. But of course, it doesn't.
