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.
Yes, people are simply too far removed from a time in our nation when government did NOT STEAL 50%+ of the wealth of the nation (and another 25% added in new debt on top of that). They do NOT appreciate just HOW MUCH WEALTH is stolen, wasted, pocketed, used to fund bank accounts of foreign dictators, bank accounts of big business cronies, purchase votes via welfare handouts, etc. ALL of that wealth COULD BE going to fund retirements, private schools, marble palaces and monuments, food, housing, and so much more (through VOLUNTARY mechanisms of course). Money back then was also WORTH SOMETHING. It was tangible, made of precious metals or at least recognized metals with exchange values, etc....not simply electronic creations by greedy foreign banksters in control of our money supply.
The Parthenon was mostly destroyed in the late 1600s by Christians who were battling the Islamic forces that were in control of the Acropolis. Yay Jesus. Most of the surviving statues and carvings were removed by the victors, many of which are on display in the British Museum.
With the 'Then' rendering why not restore it to its former glory? Now THAT would be incredible to see and get the feel of what it used to be way back when.
Could this even be built today? Not likely.
ReplyDeleteAnything can be built, if you're money's right.
DeleteRemember, right off the top, the gov't gets half or more.

ReplyDeleteWhat’s not at The British?
DeleteQ: Why are the pyramids in Egypt?
DeleteA: Because they were too big to fit into the British Museum.
They weren't of any value after the Muslims stole all the marble that covered it.
Deletewell, it kind of hard to find anything that the damn "turks" didn't mess up .
ReplyDeletethey may have missed a junkyard or two
