I don't get the hatred either. <br /><br />If it's insensitive to have the cultural center blocks away from Ground Zero and not in view, then where IS it acceptable?

I am appalled by the hypocrisy and ignorance so often broadcast loudly around the world from a media that seems intent on perpetuating the lowest possible denominator it can find. <br />I am shamed by the arrogant lack of thought and the adolescent dearth of simple common sense that's given center-stage in this country.

They do not want peace, they want us to be in a never ending war, using their weapons.
