Something There's Not Any Real Need to Ponder....

Or Maybe just a rhetorical question for 9/11+6....

Mathematics -- not arithmetic -- is cool. It's basically the means for figuring out things, really.

So let's ponder this equation.

Smallish fire at the Deutsche Bank building's remains adjacent to Ground Zero: EPA finds enough toxins were released so that it orders the immediate sealing of the remains, as it were.

Seven buildings at the World Trade Center site get blown away, so to speak: it's still an issue what the environmental impact was. It's still an unresolved issue whether any significant toxins were released.

Reconcilable?

Well, we know all Our Leaders really care about is increasing the wealth of their true supporters (and maybe giving the Islamofascists occasional lip service). But that explain this?

I suppose it does: copping to the toxic disaster of 9/11 basically is to concede that maybe all of that fine lower Manhattan real estate is, well, not necessarily good for peoples' health which is to say that it could lower property values. Deutsche Bank, on the other hand, is a single building.

I know this sounds, even by my standards, really cynical, but is there any other explanation? (Yes, yes, I know the DB building's been a factory for generating toxins, still it can't be worse, let alone significantly worse than what happened to the WTC. OTOH, crackpot science is the only science Our Leaders acknowledge, so....)

Addendum: I've been behind the building a few times over the last few years and it always stunk. Take that for what it's worth....
