They hate us because of our Freedom (Tower)

Peter Mehlman on why "Freedom Tower" is such a bad name for the structure going up on Ground Zero:

The hurdle to picking a new name lies in those who insist this new structure must (!) stand as constant reminder of our freedoms. As if pedestrians will look up, see the tower and suddenly remember, "Wait a minute. I can do whatever the fuck I want." The truth is, when pedestrians look up and see the tower, they will think, "Shit. I thought I was walking Uptown."
