Thanks for the ping(s) Fred...
Until reading FR and hearing people talk about this, I had been highly offended by what was happening...but I now realize that there are many people who are clueless about the second-order impacts that the 9/11 attack had. Unless we consider the PATRIOT ACT, we are not really looking at the full effect of the assault on us. It has attacked our very own way of life, and has turned us against ourselves.
Regarding the exhibit itself...as we look at the negative sides of the USA and other parts of Western history, let's look at how we have attempted to overcome these things, not dwell in them like the current barbaric practices of the terrorist!
I don't like there being something taking away from it being a memorial, but if we must have something like that, then let's focus it on the effects of 9/11.
People wonder how I was able to predict the 9/11 attacks. That 1968-2000 timeline was the crystal ball.
