Mt. Rushmore


I know I've said this in the past about a few men but again I have to say "I thought they were bigger than that". Boy it sure brings the Crazy Horse Memorial into perspective. They said in the video at Crazy Horse that four of Mt. Rushmore would fit into just his hair. Imagine trying to brush four Mt. Rushmore's out of your hair. Anyone visiting this area should do Rushmore first and Crazy Horse second. I was a really nice place though. Again we went for the evening ceremony. This one much more tasteful. They gave a little talk. Not really impressed just kept saying imagine this didn't happen or that didn't happen would those men still have been as great as they became. Well, umm doodah, it did happen and they did become great men. Then came a film by the Discovery Channel. When speaking about Thomas Jefferson they quoted the Declaration of Independence "all men are created equal." While reading the passage they showed clips of the civil rights march, the women's rights march, the Native Americans march, umm I think you forgot someone! When that was over they had everyone rise and sing the National Anthem while the gradually lit up the monument. Then they called all the military personnel to the stage to help retire the flag for the evening. Quite enjoyable and a very nice evening over all.

This should be renamed "Mount Ugly Presidents." We either elect "smart ugly presidents" or "dumb pretty presidents" except for George Bush "who is a dumb ugly president."
