I am glad that you know what is in the hearts of all men.  I myself have no
such gift.

 I agree, John.  On NPR this morning, I heard that the original plans
submitted this summer, were short buildings and plazas--and New Yorkers
protested that they thought the plans were too boring.  All twelve of the
new plans call for tall buildings.

 sigh

 Again, the arrogance of the American--sometimes I want to ask Who the
heck do we think we are??. . .I can imagine Osama and his cultist faction,
drooling and anxiously waiting in anticipation at the completion of such a
prominent target.

 One of the designers even said that immediately he knew he'd have a hard
time getting occupants for the higher floors, but he said that 10 or 12
years from now, it won't be a problem.  I predict it will be sooner.  As
Americans, we become complacent way to easily and quickly. It's irritating.

 done venting

 --John W. Redelfs gave us pause to think with:
 I think it is hubris to imagine we should build towers still taller than
the WTC.  Sure they can build them, but the experience with the WTC proves
that someone else can knock them down.  What is the point?  Why make
buildings a tempting target unnecessarily?  I should think that the builders
of the WTC would have learned their lesson.  Super tall building are not a
good idea.

 At present, the Book of Mormon is studied in our Sunday
 School and seminary classes every fourth year. This
 four-year pattern, however, must not be followed by
 Church members in their personal and family study. We
 need to read daily from the pages of the book that will get
 a man nearer to God by abiding by its precepts, than by
 any other book. (Ezra Taft Benson, October 1988)

It was super great fun when we were little tykes, building those tall 
towers out of blocks and then knocking them down.
