The media have been referring to the rubbled areas of NYC as 
"Ground Zero".

Jon T. chose the name with the full understanding of the implications.
Does that mean that citizens of Hiroshima or Nagasaki would be 
offended by the name of his company?  I doubt it.  Some maybe.

In some sense,	if we respond in ways after these incidents 
that reflect our fears or intimidations, then we have let the 
terrorists influence our thoughts and actions in a way that 
they have desired.  It is proper and fitting that we mourn and 
grieve and hold memorials for the lost.  But I shake my fist in 
defiance to the attackers if they think that I will change my
lifestyle and actions because of their deeds.

I say keep the name.
