I think there should be a statue of each person that died on 9/11 right in front of the new tower.

i don't know all the details about the bill that was presented vs what was in place already. but i have to say i don't think that an emergency crew should somehow benefit from 9-11, whereas a responder to a run of the mill everyday sort of thing gets less. there are already things in place, including workmans comp, to take care of on the job injuries. i understand that 9-11 wasn't typical...but how do you tell one fireman he gets more, and another that he doesn't because he got injured on a less publicized call?

France does have some pretty good beaches. I used to love it when in Cannes and it was lunch time and the ladies working across the street in the shops would come down to the beach and just have thier thong on. France also has some pretty good tasting crepes.
