[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jay the Obscure: [QB] There�s a certain phoniness to this kind of overt patriotism. To me, this is about people trying to wrap themselves in the flag and be more patriotic than the rest of us. As is calling it the �Freedom Towers.� Freedom from what? Freedom for whom? How does this name honor to the people who died in the WTC on 9/11? As to the 1776 feet tall thing: [QUOTE]Independence Day speeches could not resist referring to the Freedom Tower as a 1,776-foot building, the main structure will reach only 1,500 feet � still quite a bit higher than the twin towers were � while the television antenna might approach 2,000 feet.
