Yeah, it's hard to...greg - Thanks for the comment. Yeah, it's hard to believe that someone who actually lives in New York city could feel that way after going through 9/11 up close and personal. But, as Dr. Pat has pointed out, there's a whole lot of denial going on in certain circles these days.<BR/><BR/>Interestingly enough, I'll be spending the next few days down in the City - my first visit in quite a few years - and I'm looking forward to seeing how it's changed.
