SUGARCOATING THE OBVIOUS 6-29-05

So many 6-ton elephants in the room that we don't like to mention. If we just don't say the words out loud, they can't possibly come true.

Let's be realistic, all this back and forth about what the design of the new "Freedom Tower" will look like is just lunacy! This is not art, this is not architecture. We are building a 1776-foot target. We are erecting a Titanic in an ocean of vindictive Icebergs. A 1776-foot giant middle finger taunting the world.

If terrorists were confused as to what the next target would be, what the next big thing they could take out that would really crush our hearts and make us look weak, well, they didn't have to wait very long, we are building it up for them.

It's the stuff of Orwellian novels man. I mean, it's genius really. We don't even need terrorists. Once this thing is assembled "Big Brother" will be "Oh so protective of it" god forbid anyone try to topple it, for it is won't be just a building, it's a symbol for the American Way, a symbol for Freedom!

Bullshit man! This is one of those typical write-by-numbers scenarios. Even if I'm totally wrong with this, hear me out on this logic and tell me they haven't put these scenarios out there in their private meetings but would never say them aloud to the American People. I'm just being totally honest here. If 9/11 never happened, George Bush would have never been re-elected. 9/11 was the best thing that could have ever happened to George Bush's Career. It's also the best thing to ever happen to former Mayor Giuliani . If everyone isn't brainwashed by now, do you remember how everyone hated Giuliani up until 9/11? 9/11 gave Giuliani a 100 Grand a lecture speaking career.

Could the Freedom tower just be a massive pawn being constructed only to be purposefully sacrificed for the future of the Republican Party by the cruel and ruthless hand of an oil hoarding Emmanuel Goldstein?

Only time will tell, anyway, I hope they put a cool mall into the basement like the old Twin Towers, I used to have lunch at the Cosi and read books at the Twin Towers Borders almost every weekday from 99-01 so I hope they put another Borders in there.

So in closing, I hope it goes up just fine, and nobody ever even makes an attempt at knocking it down. Go ahead and build it I say, but I'll be damned if I rent space in there.

Just another day in the life of an Art Juggernaut.
