Anonymous Coward User ID: 31757303 United States 01/13/2013 09:23 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I like this idea: Quoting: Shelgeyr www.nukingpolitics.com/2012/12/into-light.html Excerpts: "I’m also willing to predict that Liberals will have much the same reaction to sunlight filtered through the Bill of Rights as vampires do to unfiltered sunlight so, you know, 'win-win'." "...for the bulk of every morning the only sunlight to fall upon the Capitol will be that which shines through the Bill of Rights." Talk about monolithic! :victory: Just a simple tombstone will do! |

Judging from the gargantuan proportions in the article (which I don't have open at the moment so I can't site them exactly) I'm guessing it would take more dynamite than you could fit in an 18-wheeler to do much more than dent the thing. We both know it will never be built (I'd LOVE to be wrong about that!), but if it WAS, then it would be about an entire city block thick (I remember it saying 365 point something feet to tie into the length of a year) of whatever it was built from (stone, reinforced concrete, something along those lines). You'd have to go the serious fusion bomb route unless you'd be satisfied just making a ding. And good luck with that... |

Shelgeyr (OP) User ID: 6321116 United States 01/18/2013 12:13 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I would also include The Gettysburg Address. ...a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal... (anti-elitism) Quoting: ibis Well yes, but that should be built over in Gettysburg. I understood the artistic point of the BoR monument was to block out the sun except for the light coming through the text, every morning. But big monuments to critical foundational (or in the GA's case "historical") documents is an idea worth pursuing. We certainly waste money on far stupider projects... |

Shelgeyr (OP) User ID: 6321116 United States 03/23/2013 09:56 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Monument as a gun? Cool! But they need to bring back Riflery clubs & shooting teams to public high schools. No, I'm not kidding. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1393773 I think the monument as a gun would have a cantilever problem, but IMHO shooting clubs in schools would be a good thing. A quick Google search leads me to believe there's still quite a lot of private schools that have them. I have no idea about public schools although my guess would be "no" given the state of schools today. |
