Something about the name "Freedom Tower" really rubs me the wrong way. Not sure if that makes sense....
And while explosions are genearlly cool, mabye NSM in this case....

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Tommy - I feel the same way about the name. Makes me wonder if people were all eyerolly about the "Statue of Liberty" at the time.

"Hey New York! We want to test your emotional bedrock and post-traumatic stress levels by fucking with you for the next two months."
Yeay, residents of Tokyo were equally unhappy about the Giant Godzilla Balloon tests....

Maybe it's the Freedom Fries debacle.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Oh, lovely. My building just sent out the following notice:
To All Tenants:
We have now been advised that engineers will detonate test explosives at the World Trade Center site beginning on Monday, June 12, 2006. This procedure will test the use of charges to clear bedrock for the Freedom Tower’s foundation. If the tests are successful, you may hear three to four muffled explosions per day on alternating weekdays for approximately two months.
Haven't you been hearing three to four explosions a day at work for the past several months, though?

Well, that's part of it... but not all. I was annoyed when Reagan wanted to use the name "Space Station Freedom" or whatever.
Pro'lly the way the right wing associates "freedom" with laissez faire capitalism and jingoistic patriotism.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Those are for the South Ferry Terminal, and thankfully, out of earshot for me. The WTC is right across the street.

It's a side-effect of the whole freedom-naming frenzy from a few years back -- makes it very hard to take anything named "Freedom ____" seriously.
