LAWRENCE AUSTER writes:

America’s elite class, having nothing to believe in except for the sterile and empty abstractions of freedom and equality, no longer inhabit a coherent, concrete culture, and so were unable to conceive of or or agree upon a sensible project to replace the [World Trade Center]. Instead, they kept being drawn to plans for nihilistic, despairing memorials, freaky postmodern cityscapes, and an absurd 1776-foot high “Freedom Tower,” which turned off normal people and went nowhere. As a result, nine years later, the site of the most traumatic disaster in American history remains a desolate lot—a fitting symbol of the emptying out of our culture by liberalism.
