Rex Murphy: Testing America’s tolerance

[pomtzu]

I agree - poll all of America. The 9/11 was an attack on all Americans, whether they lived anywhere near Ground Zero or not. Why shouldn't all Americans that were outraged by the attack, not be outraged by the desire to build that mosque where is planned. IMO - it's a slap in the face to everyone. There are plenty of other mosques in NYC, why another, and why at that particular location? I for one, truly hope, by some miracle, that it is never built there.

Now that's value for money.
Why shouldn't all America have a say ????

Because all Americans aren't eligible to vote for the representatives on the Manhattan Zoning Board of appeals?

Because the entirety of the United States Citizenship should not be able to tell a private property owner what to do with a piece of real estate?

You can run 1,000 polls, but unless those polled have any voting rights in the area, the polls are meaningless.

That's a shame. That all of America can't have a say about something that affected the whole nation.

Sourced.

Funny, no outcry over what the developers are doing with the rest of Manhattan.............

Should all of Manhattan remain frozen in time?

After all, the dust from those attacks went everywhere.
