Subject: RE: BS: Ground Zero - A war grave?
I think the Japanese did the job well in Hiroshima. The Dome and Peace Park with the accompanying "museum" stands to tell the story while the rest of the city rebuilt. Forget taxes and all that, Manhattan has always been a place for business and living as well and we have to continue living. Both objectives can be accomplished but all will never be satisfied and that's too bad, but to devote the sight entirely to one thing or the other is the greatest wrong.
I am also against RE-naming things after dead guys. I still consider it Idlewild and National and I was glad when Cape Canaveral became so once again. I liked JFK, but that renaming stuff is a crock. I have a feeling that Martin Luther King would be less than impressed by having a street in every city renamed after him...better a rebuilt neighborhood. And have you noticed how little is renamed after Nixon? How about a Federal Penitentiary? "The Richard M. Nixon Memorial Reformatory."
