The original event may have been ''let'' to happen for a couple of reasons: 1. ''they'' need a war to make some real $$$. 2. Manhattan is in such bad shape structurally, the physical plant, the garbage that they generate and have nowhere to put, 3. the large financial interests want out, and 4. a recent report indictes that the steel in the towers was inadequate in the first place. All these scenarios are pathetic reasons to cause such loss of life, not to mention post- traumatizing all these poor citiots. But ''the powers that be'' operate with a different set of standards and morals than us plain folk. Now a dude like governer pataki is left holding the bag and the moron cannot even write a proper speech to honor those who died in the attack and those who died trying to help, he has to read the Gettysberg Address. As far as I am concerned he should resign and get a job pushing a broom. I feel that if theyare going to put on this show at least it should be a real , honest effort. Does that clarify my sentiments??? SStorch
