That was a great read, and while some people may see her response as perhaps cynical, or even unfeeling, to me it seems absolutely rational and grounded in a reality that seems very healthy. One of my favorite national monuments is the Lincoln Memorial. It's a fantastic site, but what really makes it special is the reflecting pool. The idea that Lincoln is sitting there reflecting, and that we should do the same. Perhaps that's the sort of thing that should have existed as a monument for September 11th? -But no gift shop.
