Oh my god - this is the guy who came up to me and took issue with my sign, which said “NO MOSQUE AT GROUND ZERO - IT’S NOT ABOUT FREEDOM OF RELIGION - IT’S ABOUT RESPECT FO THE (3,000) DEAD”. He said, “Are you sure it was 3,000 and not 2,997? Isn’t it disrespectful not to know exactly how many people died?” He was totally condescending and mocking. I told him “Who care’s what you think?” and walked away. Wow - I’m totally amazed. I assumed he was from some fringe news outlet - turns out it was ABC - well, come to think of it, I wasn’t far wrong!
