    We want to know

    Keep the Aspidistra Flying states "That the number of people who voluntarily checked off the box on their tax forms to contribute to the 911 fund had dropped off to 15,000 last year."

    What box on what tax forms? I don't see it on my 1040, nor on my New Mexico PIT. Is this some local New York thing?

    By the way, I'd like to thank all the writers who challenged the notion that it was "too soon" to make a movie about 911, or that such movies should "never" be made. Some of us may be delicate flowers; others crave a more personal experience of what "they" may have gone through - and that can only come from Art - or documentaries, or movies. We want to know and feel MORE - not less.
