I'm sick of Bloomy's "My way or the highway" edict. Asshole - WAKE UP!. When the people, thousands of them, speak up, you listen. As an elected official YOU DO what the MAJORITY of the people ask, not what "you feel". Give the memory of those who sufferred there due. How long do people have to deliberate over the minutea of how they are listed? Waste more money and time you idiot! Now go shovel your car out!

I think Spitzer should use this as an example of how he will actually listen to reason and isn't a steamroller just for it's own sake. I think the guy is actually pretty smart and not just some gorilla.

What's up with this "everybody was equal" stuff? There is a HUGE difference between going to work at your desk job at the WTC on 9/11 and tragically dying on that day versus rushing IN to the WTC after it's been attacked to save people. Why shouldn't ranks and other info be included along with names? The more info given about the people who were there that day, the better we'll be able to understand what it might have been like inside the towers.

This is not related to the WTC or Bloomburg, but seriously WTF is going on with the L train service? I called the MTA customer complaint line and their response was "Yeah yeah, that's a good question. I'd like to know too! You should go to the website to complain" So, I call up the MTA customer COMPLAINT LINE and they tell me I should go to the website to complain. Perfect! Is the MTA inept at every level?

Gotta agree with Mike on this one. This was an attack not just against the people who were killed but against America as well. I hate Anne Coulter but she has a point that we listen way too much to 9/11 victim's families. As callous as it may sound, these people have to move on. If it was up to them, the WTC site woyuld be a huge park with memorials around. That's ridiculous. Like it or not, the area is valuable real estate and something should have already been built there.
