#1 Flight 93 Memorial and all other Memorials that celebrate the lives or pay respects to the victims.

Perhaps it would be smarter, wiser and more humane to ask the victim's families what the
red-line no-go areas for them would be in the ultimate design.

I recognize that some of them might say, build nothing; and some would say build a monument that said kill all Muslims. [like someone says around here fairly regularly]

But if the right team leader works with the families with all the dos and don'ts they can give the Designers a wide latitude of choices for a decent monument celebrating their kin's lives while paying respect to their losses.

THEN if a Designer on his own goes *Munafiqs* and injects Islamic elements and motifs into the whole of the monument I would fire his ass for the Flight 93 Crew and passengers, and the families, and the let's Roll Team, America, and every red blooded American on the Planet.

Then I would do is check and see if designer Paul Murdoch in this instance, and his firm does any work in the Gulf or is bidding work in the Gulf.

[a good 40% of the $$$ HUGE $$$ CASH $$$ jobs will be in the Gulf region for the next few years... without war of course]

#2 I recognize that some of them might say, build nothing; and some would say build a monument that said kill all Muslims.

That was an option? Dang, we screwed up.

#3 I blogged about this myself a few days ago after reading this blog post at Error Theory.

We should be enraged, not just angry.

Joanne Hanley, superintendent of the Flight 93 National Memorial, said, Rawls "bases all of his conclusions on faulty assumptions."

And those assumptions are? And why are they faulty?

Why not just reconsider the design?

#6 Redesign it as a large contiguous reflective pool, 93 yards long, that when observed from above reads "F*ck Mecca".

#7 The perfect memorial would be a small white house.

As that was the target the passengers died and protected.

#8 Tom lives in Northfield Minnesota. The town slogan used to be "Colleges Cows and Contentment".

They might want to change that to Tom Sr. plans on giving someone an ass kicking. Rightly so.

If they do open this thing they way it's planned everyone of us should go there with axes and cut those crescent trees down.

#9 reading this makes me glad the memorial committee's appeal for money is still buried on my desk.

#10 It's time the honest, hardworking citizens of this nation start kicking the a$$ of all the parisites that live here, but contribute nothing to the current success and sustained future of our nation. Unless we do, we're going to end up just like France.

#11 I think all 9/11 Memorials should be designed by the thoughts, actions and insights of Vlad the Impaler. Like...93 impaled muslims in a circle around a crusader holding the severed head of allen's boy mudhead the child rapist.
