I saw some of those WTC architectural proposals on TV, and didn't care for any of them - a little too "out there." Forgive me for sounding like Prince Charles complaining about buildings that look like carbuncles! LOL. A poll at the SF Chronicle indicates this one is the most popular so far:

Jersey sheets are comfy cozy, I agree! Living in an old, drafty house, we've taken a different approach to avoiding nighttime frostbite, however, and that's a heated mattress pad (like an electric blanket, except it's underneath instead of on top).

Is that an office building for clear people?

Of course, that one is one of my least favorite of the seven. One of them (don't ask me which one - half the time the slides in each group don't come up) has a dome which looks like a rounded cathedral -- that was the closest thing to "Old World" that any of them got.

I do think Prince Charles should head up one of the design teams - he appreciates the importance of classic architecture.

I like the Foster Group's design.

Another corporate accounting scandal (Conseco) and resultant bankruptcy, so out of curiosity I have checked campaign contributions. Former Conseco CEO Bruce Crittenden gave $2500 to a Democrat PAC, Americans for Responsible Leadership, and smaller amounts to individual candidates; none, apparently, to the Clintoons.

All I can think of when I see that new WTC proposal is that if they try to knock it down again with planes, they will fly right through it. To me, anything that gets put up in the towers' place, is just a constant visual reminder of that day. I can only imagine how it would be if you lived there.
