"So over the past several days here on this blog I have documented that within a three-block radius of the area called Ground Zero there are at least two strip clubs (http://www.mahablog.com/2010/08/03/a-september-11-family-association-supports-the-islamic-center/), plus a number of bars (http://www.mahablog.com/2010/08/10/ends-and-odds-mostly-odds/) (one popular with lesbians). This morning through googling I found a lingerie and porn video shop (http://www.yelp.com/biz/thunder-lingerie-and-more-new-york) about two blocks south of Ground Zero that a reviewer calls “grimy” and “sleazy.” Those establishments have existed in close proximity to Ground Zero lo these many years, and no one seemed to care.
Yet talk about putting up a cultural center within this same area, one that won’t even be visible from the Ground Zero site, and suddenly people start squawking about “hallowed ground” and “sacrilege. (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/08/12/AR2010081204996.html)” Give me a break."
