I hereby decree…
They should rebuild the Twin Towers! Bigger ones! Better ones! Ones that don’t fall down when planes hit them!
Seriously, none of this “Freedom Tower” bullshit. It’d be WAY more patriotic to just rebuild the towers as they were (or bigger and better and resistant to planes, as decreed, hehe). Why? Because, otherwise, we’re letting the terrorists know they’ve succeeded in defacing our largest city. They destroyed a landmark. Yet it won’t just be rebuilt. They’re building something else entirely. Just a slap in the face that this something else has the intention of promoting patriotism, when its very existence will be an insult. Here’s how it should be:
World Trade Center: In Loving Memory of the old World Trade Center destroyed on September 11, 2001.
Basically saying to the terrorists “Whatever, bitch, we’ll just rebuild them. Did you really think that would scare us?”
Is that so fucking hard? Meh. Apparently so.
I fully agree! I’m not a USAn, but I must say that rebuilding the towers, or something in their image (rather than some other monstroseity) would be much more patriotic.
Two towers a mile high each with access paths between them on the lower floors.
If it dosen’t beat this:

We’ve been insulted. Twice!
