re: #125 sliv_the_eli

In truth, even those who rationally oppose the project probably cannot answer that question. Like much that has to do with tragedies of the scale of 9/11, the issue is an emotional one that is generally only resolved through open dialogue. For example, 1/2 a mile away might be too close to some if the project is sited without any dialogue, but several blocks away might be exactly right if the choice of site is the result of an open dialogue. And anyone who claims to have exclusive rights to knowing what is the right thing to do is engaging in demagoguery.

i quite agree; it’s sad that so many are blind to the fact that an inability to answer that question, how far away is ‘far enough’, is a sign that the objections are emotional rather than rational.
