I was actually trying to keep to myself this week but.........It truly is
sad and unfortunate what occured on Sept 11, I live equal distance from both
NYC and Washington , Dc. But to not show this statue  I think is  a tradedy
in itself. We all lost a lot that day and this is a grave reminder . No one
has seem to mind the television media displaying the events and the tumbling
of the towers over and over again, but now we seem a problem with a
permanent struture, Hasn't New York learned from Sensations, you cant
censure, it's an expression which we are all guarenteed under the 1st
amendment to our constitution.Like it or not I say unvail it, I it's a harsh
reminder we are not invincible but vunerable----- Original Message -----

> Greetings Listers:

> An article has appeared on MSNBC.com, regarding the draping, and upcoming
removal of a sculpture by Eric Fischl.  The sculpture, intended as a
memorial to victims of September 11th, was placed in Rockefeller Center.
After some complaints, the statue was draped, and is reported to be
scheduled for removal.  To read the articles, go to:

> I am interested in listers' opinions on this.  I can't help but be
reminded of all of the PC flack that came out in the 1990s regarding
exhibitions and controversial works (can anyone say Enola Gay?)  However,
this is a different situation, but still very interesting.
