Suggestion for the new WTC "Freedom Tower" design
There's been a lot of quibbling about the design for the new "Freedom Tower."

Let's stop being coy about this and just make it into what it's supposed be anyway: a giant penis.

The new freedom tower should be a 1776 foot penis that ejaculates streams of red, white, and blue light from the tip at night time. Then at the bottom, it can have a dedicatory plaque that says "Standing Erect in the face of Terror" or something to that effect.

Since the new tower is to be primarily a vulgar propaganda symbol rather than a memorial, why not just go all out in its vulgarity.

4. I think it should be a statue of *, taller than the WTC ...
in his flight suit, holding his helmet under his arm and looking defiantly towards Mecca.

USA! USA! USA!

6. Bring back the Towers of Light
and make that installation permanent. Freedom Tower, my ass ... By the time the ghastly thing is completed, we may not have any freedom left in this country.

7. why is it necessary to build something as big as (or bigger than) . . .
the World Trade Center? . . . that's kind of an adolescent reaction to what happened . . . it would make far more sense to rebuild the area with structures closer to human scale, buildings that are both useful and beautiful . . . it's really not necessary to "make a statement" by building "bigger and better" . . .

10. Just rebuild it. Put a place for a monument for the victims & harden it.

It's the best way to say FUCK YOU to the people who attacked us (be they domestic or foreign).
