		<description>Thank you Buddy. I posted there also. It is a good one!



A book would be cool, but I don&#039;t seem to have the time or the patience right now. Maybe when I grow up? :)



I will look into a letter to the NY Times. I have bitten off more than I can chew at the moment, and I am behind in all of them.



Have a great day!

		<description>Fire_Ready, &lt;a href=&quot;http://instapundit.com/archives/023558.php&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;here&#039;s a link&lt;/a&gt; from Instapundit with some fresh thoughts from Jeff Jarvis. Sure do appreciate your posts. Time to write that book?  You&#039;ve been at the balance points of the culture, you got the authenticity and the way with words. From what I can tell, this thing is going to up for discussion for a few months yet. We need to steady build the picture of who&#039;s who on the question. A snail letter from you to the NYTimes would be good. Kyda Sylvester has had &#039;em published there, so they will print an adverse opinion!

		<description>When the Vietnam Memorial was being developed, I didn&#039;t know if it would work. There were some things in the design that concerned me. But at it&#039;s heart was the memory of the fallen. Fortunately, there were no inhumanity to man symbolic garbage. It is far more powerful than I ever dreamed. Even now, the vets come for the first time. It always brings sorrow. But we now have a place to drop off our burdens and come back periodically to visit instead of carrying the load with us all the time. A way to say hello. A way to say goodbye. A way to say I remember, and I will be back. I will join you once again. A way to do it in our own way and in our own time. After hours, in the dim light, you can feel them. They hear you. They soothe your soul and send you on your way back to your other life. They tell you to live, really live, for them as well. You carry their blessing when you leave. They are always glad to see you return and are never sad to see you leave. They live through you, so get on with it!



That is what is needed at Ground Zero. They are all there. They can hold and comfort. They can send us on our way. But we can&#039;t convolute the message with garbage that does not belong. They can build their diversity center across the street, but we need our quiet space right where it needs to be. It should ALL be there, not in a hangar far away. The children, the wives and husbands, the heroes that survived need this simplicity. It shouldn&#039;t be so complex that most miss the point altogether and become alienated. This should be simple, and bring everyone together, regardless of thier affiliations. There were people of all colors, religions and countries. Males, females, and confused. Democrats, Republicans, Lebertarians and Independents. They were all Americans. Even the ones not officially Americans became American in death. We need a simple unifying monument that can be translated by those that need it, any way the need to. We need simplicity. A place to grieve. Whether you are from the Midwest and have never been to New York, or a native son or daughter, it must be a place of peace for you. A special place, just for you when you need it. A place that says &quot;Come join us, come and be quiet. Come, come....and heal. We are all here.&quot;



Please continue the fight. Some things are worth fighting for.

		<description>Another lovely day to be alive. I love the rain. My youngest daughter always tells me that is because I spent so much time away from her in the desert. I just call it liquid sunshine! I heard that somewhere, and it stuck!



The delay in exposure I believe is because the shows were already set, but tomorrow will tell the tale. This is for the long haul, not just a flash and gone. We need to work together and see it through.



The ball rolls slow at first, but when it gains momentum, it will be a memorial unto itself. Good strong willed people with vision and integrity making things happen. Will it be just what we expect? Probably not. But it will NOT be what should never have even been considered. It will become a political issue with teeth. People vote.....and politicians posture. We just need to help them with their posture. To have good posture you have to have a spine. The politician need a cause, and we will clarify it for them!



ONE TEAM, ONE FIGHT! I still like &quot;LET&quot;S ROLL!!!!&quot;



It is an honor to work with everyone. I hope to see Madawaskan return! This has been a very positive post! Thanks!

		<description>Kyda:



What if acting in the service of  freedom as they know it entails flying planes into buildings?



Why can&#039;t they just show respect and have a memorial to the dead? why do they have to ruin everything for everyone else?

		<description>&lt;i&gt;To be sure, the International Freedom Center will host debates and note points of view with which you--and I--will disagree&lt;/i&gt; [oh not you, Mr. Tofel, surely not you]. &lt;i&gt;But that is the point, the proof of our society&#039;s enduring self-confidence and humanity. &lt;b&gt;Moreover, the International Freedom Center will rise above the politics of the moment.&lt;/b&gt; It will not exist to precisely define &quot;freedom&quot; or to tell people what to think, but to get them to think--&lt;b&gt;and to act in the service of freedom as they see it&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; [I shudder to think]. &lt;i&gt;And it will always do so in a manner respectful of the victims of September 11.&lt;/i&gt;



I gather this is supposed to be reassuring? I&#039;m particularly amused by the illusion that he and his cohorts are the Lincolns of our time. He ignores those things that Lincoln knew still had to be done to facilitate that &quot;new birth of freedom&quot; and the lengths to which he was willing to go to insure same.



He seems to believe that in the future Americans will not necessarily remember what happened at Ground Zero, but &lt;i&gt;will&lt;/i&gt; know, courtesy of the International Freedom Center, how those events are measured. That&#039;s the whole point, Mr. Tofel. We don&#039;t want those measurements taken by the likes of &lt;b&gt;you&lt;/b&gt;.



What claptrap. You disgust me, Mr. Tofel, even more so than yesterday.



Nothing so far on the radio. Time to redouble efforts.

		<description>As always, I step away for personal business and the thread turns fascinating.



Piranha- Soros coming into the market place is like when you were growing up, you were quietly playing, perhaps after your bedtime, and you heard one of your parents&#039; footsteps  coming down the hall. Your experience tells you, by the sound of those footsteps, not only which parent it is, but whether that parent is coming angrily or not. In the markets I described, Soros has VERY big feet. Sorry for the long delay in responding. Also, he likes to use a PR company to push his trades and in his &quot;personal&quot; capacity as &quot;global&quot; financial advisor to anyone that&#039;s willing to listen to his &quot;unique&quot; views on the global economy. Hint: do a search on &quot;Dollar Diversity&quot; nothing  dated before the election? Isn&#039;t that odd? Sorry, that was snarky. Still, when he trades, it&#039;s like an elephant in the tent.
