Where is the outrage? America can be dumber than a box of rocks sometimes. This is crazy. I'm going to voice my disgust to my Senators and Reps. Won't do any good probably, but better than being mute about it. This truly pisses me off!<BR/><BR/>Even if it wasn't done on purpose it needs reconsidered, there's to much weird crap about it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15375010.post-1153366615621598512006-07-19T23:36:00.000-04:002006-07-19T23:36:00.000-04:00Thanks Benning.

Maybe he found it at your place. He forgot to tell me.<BR/><BR/>As for the memorial: the "redesign" eliminated the name "Crescent of Embrace" that hitherto described the arc of red maples. They added a few more trees here and there but the basic design in the same.<BR/><BR/>I find it really difficult to believe that anyone so creative as these designers would be so ignorant to the symbolism of their design.<BR/><BR/>It would be better to scrap this plan altogether and start over.<BR/><BR/>P.S. I've got an article submitted to Real Clear Politics:<BR/><BR/>http://www.realclearpolitics.com/readerarticles/?period=week<BR/><BR/>It's called "Putin & Those Pesky Russian Microphones!"<BR/><BR/>I appreciate anyone who visits the Real Clear site and votes for my submission:<BR/><BR/>http://www.realclearpolitics.com/readerarticles/?period=weekMike's Americahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01262938295909490454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15375010.post-1153361309448524432006-07-19T22:08:00.000-04:002006-07-19T22:08:00.000-04:00YUp out of all the signs n logos on God's green ea...YUp out of all the signs n logos on God's green earth...lets use the crescent and rub salt in the bloody wounds of the loved ones who lost their families!..UGH!!!WomanHonorThyselfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17211851365273181636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15375010.post-1153354857628148842006-07-19T20:20:00.000-04:002006-07-19T20:20:00.000-04:00ac: You'd almost think the NYTimes was in charge! ...ac: You'd almost think the NYTimes was in charge!

The design was supposed to be altered. It was. They added a line of trees that kept the crescent design. That makes me think this is becoming intentional.<BR/><BR/>aow: yeah, we'll hold our breaths to see a change!
