Truth be told, this was sort of my reaction, too. But I'm like that. Tell me I can't do something and I'll try to do it better. Of course, then I read somewhere that a building becomes totally inefficient after something like forty-eight floors, so I figured pulling the hydra on this one wasn't the best option. Still, there are marvels in design that don't require massive height... safety, energy efficiency, aesthetics... I guess I still think we should build there again, but not just another old-American phallus. It was this kind of penis waving that caused the world to hate us in the first place.
I said it before, and I'll say it again, the pile of rubble in lower Manhattan is America's collective angry inch. (Even if it's cleared away by now. Hee.)
