Re: wtc2.org?
I'm not so sure I like this idea at all for a number of reasons: 1) The site might of the WTC might be better served to become a memorial for those who lost their lives. Building another shrine to capitalism (and no i'm not against capitalism) won't server that purpose. 2) The cost of building just 1 tower is billions of dollars. I think the financial giants of the world should be paying for their own real-estate. Last I checked, Dean Witter wasn't giving me donations to build a new house. 3) I think my money is far better served getting donated to relief organizations such as the Red Cross. Morgan Stanley well get by on their own. -Lonni --- "Douglas J.

Sky Scrapers have been targets for years, and will continue to be. As long ago as 1994 (and probably father back then that) the CIA came across documents Muslim extremists had written, vowing to destroy and tear down "Those tall buildings, America's Temples". Anybody who builds a Sky Scraper is coo-koo, if you ask me. Talk about putting all your eggs in one basket! Is the WTC had been housed in a sprawling industrial park, the terrorists could have only taken out a very small percent of the lives and data that they were able to with it all being in 2 big towers.

Then let's see them crash a plane into them! Ha! Depends on the symbolism they sought to damage. If they were seeking to damage symbols of wealth and prosperity of the US and western world in general, the WTC was a "good" (if good is the right word to use) choice. The Pentagon, is both literally and symbolically the center of the US military, another "good" choice. -- Linux SxS [http://hal.humberc.on.ca/~mrcn0031/sxs/] ___ http://linux.nf -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives, Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Digest, Etc ->http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
