You guys miss the genius here: Now the terrorists will revise their OWN targets after seeing that the U.S. finds New York rather useless. Rumor has is that some 5 person town on the border with Mexico is getting $1.2 billion from the DHS with the hope that the terrorists will follow the money trail and make the border too scary to cross.

I believe that implementing the Evicting Religions Mod could helpI will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever. You're predictable, mundane, and a google-whore and the most observant of us all know this. Your battles of "wits" rely on obscurity and whenever you fail to find something sufficiently obscure, like this, you just act like a 5 year old. Congratulations, molly.

Well, aside from the Met...and the Guggenheim itself (the exhibits there sucked when I went), that's pretty much true until the new whatsit tower gets built at Ground Zero. I don't know anything about the NYPL and the third museum mentioned in the article. As far as "monuments" are concerned, there's very little. I guess they could attack the SoL, but I can't imagine why they would. There are rarely many people in it, it's reasonably far away from anywhere that does have people in it, it's not a symbol of anything especially hateful to "them," AFAIK (I don't buy that "they hate our freedoms" crap. Falwell probably hates the freedoms they have in Amsterdam, but he didn't fly a jet into their hash bars and red light district. Nobody was ever willing to die merely to inflict harm on abstract concepts entertained by people he's never met.).
Now, Wall Street is worth protecting, but I wouldn't classify it as a "monument" or "icon." So, technically... (note that I don't agree with the DHS decision at all, I'm just using it as an excuse to vent my distaste for the centuries-old midden that is Manhattan).Comment

I give you Central Park. I give you the Seagram building. I give you Chinatown. I give you the Eldridge Street Synagogue. (I wont discuss St Patricks as there are better experts on church architecture here) I give you Tudor City. I give you Rockefeller Center. Etc, etc, etc .........
And THATS just Manhattan. There's the Coney Island Board Walk. The Japanese Garden in the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens. The Brooklyn Museum. The Grand Army Plaza library. The World Headquarter of Lubavitch Chasidim. Juniors and its Cheesecakes. Bensonhurst.
And a quiet tree lined block, that was the center of the universe in the 1960's
Now I dont know as the evil terrs have all those on their list, and I dont know as they all count as national icons, but, well, sir, I give them to you anyway."A person cannot approach the divine by reaching beyond the human.

Law and Order, thats the show where perfectly ordinary middle class people always seem to have perfectly decent sized apartments in locations in the heart of the upper west side, or the upper east side, isnt it?"A person cannot approach the divine by reaching beyond the human.
