New York City Tourist Trap Tips by mzimmer

First of all, I agree that all the hawkers at Ground Zero are disgusting. It makes me sick to see people making money from this terrible tragedy.
However, to all of you who are telling others to stay away, I hope you remain consistent by never going to another wake to mourn the loss of a loved one. I needed to go and see Ground Zero as part of the healing process from this tragedy. These people may not have been part of my immediate family, but they were part of my American and human family. I shed a tear as I read the names on the wall, and I felt a sense of pride and renewed hope as I watched construction workers rebuild the site beneath the American flag. This tragedy affected us all, and no one should be able to judge whether or not someone else needs to visit this location. It wasn't only New Yorkers that were affected, it was millions of people from all over the world.
