Default New Proposal for WTC Replacement....Your thoughts?

Check it out....http://wtc2002.com/start.lasso

I like what it symbolizes, but I don't think it's a good idea. That's just begging for another terrorist attack. Besides....it's a little on the ugly side. I for one hope they don't build it. Your thoughts?

Build it. We (the human race) need to show that we will not be deterred. Terrorists only win we people are terrorized!

Me, I really like it. It shows we aren't affraid of terrorists. I actually like the design also. It sure would get my vote to get built.

Although I voted "for" the design, and think it is beautiful, I believe it will just be another challenge to those that want to destroy our lifestyle and freedom.

Don't get me wrong...I think we need to build something there to show the world our strength...I just don't think that monstrosity is the right answer. Cramming even more people into the same space doesn't seem logical given what is needed to evacuate people in an emergency situation. And I still think it's an unattractive design .

I think this would look better...

Four short towers that match the height of the surrounding buildings makes more sense to me.

I like it, I think it looks cool. I think it is good to build another large structure there. I think its shows America's resiliency if we put a very large building in that spot.

Excellent, beautiful, functional, & inspiring design. I say build it. To not build it because we are worried about a new attack would mean that we are cowards. Without getting too deep, it will take the birth of a symbol like this to move on to bigger and better things.
