      Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

        While my temple is the Jefferson Memorial, I do plan to visit Lincoln again later this month. I felt the spirit stronger at both than I ever did in god's temples.

            The Jefferson Memorial is such a PITA to get to. Also they're renovating the grounds around it right now.

                I just look for how many people are crying.

                  See it calls itself a temple. It is a temple for all who love liberty.

                      Yeah last time I was there I heard something about it sinking. There were certainly plenty of cracks all over it. Hopefully nothing drastic happens.

                        I did not. I really love that memorial though. It's such an amazing temple and statue.

                            Our family likes to go to DC frequently and the kids always want to go see the monuments when we're there. I like to too.

                              In addition to the Lincoln and Jefferson memorials, I loved wandering around Arlington, esp the Tomb of the Unknowns. I also took the time to just wander around some of the graves of the regular GIs not just the famous ones.

                              I also feel very reverant at the Wall - my family has a special connection with a couple of names on it.

                              I may be small, but I'm slow.
