Read Cereks post again. The issue of the pins, was station employees were wearing them just after 9/11, when the edict was issued from management. It has EVERYTHING to do with the discussion.

As to "moving on" I still have friends out of work as a result. The area is irrevocably changed. Every day I walk past it it reminds me. Easy for you to say when you're on the other side of the pond. You can visit the WTC like a tourist and then "move on". You don;t have to stare at the huge hole in the ground.
