NEW YORK (CNN) -- The Freedom Tower, proposed to restore Lower Manhattan's skyline, will be the world's tallest building, according to the architects, who unveiled the revised model Friday.
Now the opinions will come. I don't know. If they are looking at a way to appropriately commemorate those who were lost during the 9-11 attacks, I don't think this is the way to go. First of all, the building is ugly. Second of all, I don't think it has to be the worlds tallest building-it just looks like a monstrosity.
The bottom line is that nothing will do justice to the memories of all the people who were killed on that tragic day. In my opinion, we should work on programs to remember September 11, why it happened, the specific stories of the people who were killed, and continue the efforts to fight the War on Terrorism. To me, that is a fitting memorial. Let's not let these people's deaths be for nothing.

regardless, I like your idea of programs to remember September 11th. In fact I think it's awesome. I wonder if the reason why most American's didn't think of something like that is 'cause of the massive protestant/englightenment anti - tradition/ceremony etc., as opposed to say RC or Orthdox Jewish religion/culture which rightly values these things.
But I'm outta my league at that point, just some quick thoughts...
