    Reinvent the British and you get a global finance center, edible food and better service. Reinvent the French and you may just get more Germans.

    This historic 2-piece memorial transforms into a magnificent standing sculpture of the Twin Towers, and is clad in 15 mg each 24 KT gold and .999 Pure Silver recovered from Ground Zero!
    You have got to be kidding me. TRANSFORMS!!! TO A MAGNIFICENT STANDING SCULPTURE!!! It is a little flap on the side of a coin that they claim is pure silver. You don't need to buy one of these to never forget. The only thing it symbolises is the gullibility of anyone who is stupid enough to buy one.

    Sort of puts the "E-e-e-e-e" in cheesy. :) Probably sell like hotcakes to the tourist/souvenir crowd.
    Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.

    I don't see what the big deal is. Let people buy it if they want. It's how they chose to remember 9/11. If they want to spend the money, by all means go ahead.

    Ice, you're right -- it's a free country, and people can spend how they choose. However, we are also free to call the products tacky and tasteless, as well as call the people buying this stuff suckers and idiots.

    Let freedom ring!

    Not to mention calling the purveyors something like 'pond-scum' '(edited)' or worse!

    I can live with the idiots, it's the bastards that take advantage of them that really boil my goat!

    LOL! another reason I think there should be one day a year (in the US) with a 'no bag limit' hunting day on 'politicians', eh?
