Stardate 20010914.1042 (On Screen via long range scanners): Eventually the rescue efforts will cease. The rubble will be cleared away; the subway station repaired, and a year from now there will be a huge empty lot in the middle of the most valuable real estate on the planet. Then we're going to have to decide what to do with that site: do we rebuild? If so, what do we build? It's private property but I think at this point it's basically a public decision (especially since if we do rebuild it's likely to be done at least partially with public money). Roger Ebert thinks it should be a park, a green area. Others have said that we should rebuild the towers exactly as they were, or that we should build even taller as proof our our resolve and our unwillingness to be bowed by brutality. I myself am torn; I don't know what should be done there.
