And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Some municipality spent tax money on that, and it's just disturbing
If one is disturbed by a train that can't leave the tracks and getcha, well ...... then the tax money prolly should not have been spent. Better to protect sensitive souls. (snark off)
You should check some of the apartment complexes built by the soviets in the 70's and 80's. They were all taxpayer funded and not one cent was spent in making them interesting, appealing or funny. Acat-train may not be everyone's cup of tea but there is value in making things interesting and not just functional. A box on wheels would have done the job just right... but it sure would not have been as interesting.
In the Northern Virginia area, I regularly pass by new apartment or condo developments that surpass the worst of sov or east German architecture. And they are cheap in everything but price!
Probably the Cat Train in Vienna.

ReplyDeleteLet us hope this cat-train can't be de-railed with a simple laser dot on the wall.

ReplyDeleteMaybe it knocks things off the shelf. Like cars and busses off a bridge.
