True, but I meant that it was odd to see it from folks who normally seem
to be a vigorously patriotic, capitalist bunch. [%^*#], I'm merely the
biggest capitalist in the world, and I've never understood the general
reluctance to exploit 9/11 for financial gain. We should have been selling
T-shirts 15 minutes after it happened, and telling the rest of the world
to [#%^*] off if they didn't like it.


We would have flown to NYC if the hotels were ALL $99 for that two week
period, and if they had constructed a GIANT three story viewing
platform/boardwalk around the entire site - $25 a person.

IIRC, our 1998 World Trade Center tour was $12 per person.

The (soon to be bailed out) airlines would have been on board, too - with
fare specials and extra planes to NYC.

Millions would have visited! ...and bought T-shirts.

New York missed the boat on that one.
