Today I have been a tourist in New York. I have seen the Very Big Statue. I have seen the Island of Entry. And I have seen the Very Big Hole.

Looking at a map of New Your it is easy to assume that you can see Lady Liberty from where the World Trade Center once stood. Doubtless you could see her from the top. But this area is some of the most expensive real estate in the world. There is a veritable forest of office and condo blocks between Ground Zero and the water. Maybe we should knock them all down too. Then we might remember that we have lost faith in the Goddess with her bright torch, and instead have taken to worshiping a steaming pit.
