Abby Zimet has a post up on the vulgarity of the 9/11 museum commercialization. It’s more like an enterprise than a solemn memorial to those who experience the horror of that day.
And, as is brought up–the end of our civil rights, specifically, the First Amendment and Fourth Amendment is hardly reason to “celibrate”…or perhaps one should say, bank upon…
Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
~~~~~~~
Amendment IV
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Violation of our right to peacefully assemble:
And, of course, the violation of our right to privacy against government intrusion unless there is a court warrant with justifiable cause.
Perhaps it should be called the Museum of Lost Civil Rights…
And like a couple of commenters, I take exception to the dismissive tone of Abby on the Architects and Engineers –who are not claiming to know if 9/11 was an inside job, but rather, they are stating that Building 7 was not hit, but nevertheless collapse as one does in a controlled demolition. THAT is what they’re saying.
