Good thing I'm not one of those New World Order conspiracy nuts; this would be downright worrisome:
Once hailed as a beacon of rebirth in the aftermath of Sept. 11, the Freedom Tower has been stripped of its patriotic name -- which has been swapped out for the more marketable "One World Trade Center," Port Authority officials conceded yesterday.
It makes a certain amount of sense to make marketing a top goal -- isn't that what we do with our freedom? But using the location's actual address -- which used to be One World Trade Center and Two World Trade Center -- as a name gives it an unfortunate spin since there's only going to be one building now. Oh, but guess who one of the first customers is? A Chinese firm, Vantone Industrial Co., will lease six floors. One World Trade indeed.
