Crazy Out-Dated Monuments
Don't you think its time we fixed the Liberty Bell? Seriously. Why haven't we fixed it? It's had a crack in it for about 200 years, but yet it is still broken. We wouldn't let the San Francisco Bridge or the Hoover Dam get a crack in it, why this monument? I mean, how hard can it be to fix a giant bell? If the Statue of Liberty's arm fell off, we would try to reattach it for her. Or if someone ripped the Constitution, we would try to Scotch tape it back on.
This is a symbol of freedom in America, yet it's flawed. No one ever thinks about that? They just parade past it and say, "Look. It's a giant bell with a... crack in it."
At the museum where it is held, it is roped off in red velvet. I guess that is so no one goes and knocks it over. We wouldn't want anyone to ruin a perfectly good cracked bell that doesn't ring right anymore.
And what's the deal with out-dated Mount Rushmore...
