Alan,
	we've been friends for nearly 20 years now - this will be the
first
time I've said this: ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND! in my own pityable
.opinion
any such change would represent a slap in the face to any of us that try
to
maintain a semblance of reality while madman attack our ways of life. I
feel
that the use of Ground Zero is not in poor taste nor reflects or
represents
anything other than a name - no more, no less.
 The terrorist action in the US was the most far reaching incident in my
short life - I do not wish to let is destroy or affect my life any
further
than it has - You and I live nearly 1/2 a world away and we both were
floored by what happened, but everyone needs to keep their perspective
and
push on - (I'll avoid the winning/losing references).
