"Between October 4, 1927, and October 31, 1941, Gutzon Borglum and 400 workers sculpted the colossal 60 foot (18 m) high carvings of U.S. presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln to represent the first 130 years of American history. These presidents were selected by Borglum because of their role in preserving the Republic and expanding its territory. The carving of Mount Rushmore involved the use of dynamite, followed by the process of "honeycombing", a process where workers drill holes close together, allowing small pieces to be removed by hand. In total, about 450,000 short tons (408,233 t) of rock were blasted off the mountainside."

It's as ugly and horrid as the thing it acts as a monument for.

It's very serious.
It's the names of all the fishermen from the village who drowned and who's bodies were never recovered.
Pretty much everybody in that fishing village has lost a family member tot the sea, so it causes lots of feels.

I knew the guy who's initials were on every single explosive lens in Fat Man, and as stated above, I've been to that monument. Knowing what it represents and being there is an interesting feeling, to say the least. While most of it has been buried/hauled off, there are still small pieces of trinitite laying around on the ground. You're not supposed to take it, but people do anyway. It makes a rather interesting souvenir.
>>72340658
Been there.
It's not a monument as you'd normally think of it. It's on a military base in the middle of the fucking desert that is only open to the public for 4 hours two days a year.

Because everyone thinks they'll be a part of the 500,000,000, but in reality they know they're worthless and have nothing to offer a "new world", so they freak out about it.
It would be incredibly efficient and powerful to live under a one-world government, where resources could be used and allocated as seen fit. We could stop burning pallets of money fighting over land and resources, and start putting some of the lives and minds used to hoard these resources to use improving our lives.
Blah blah blah communism, call it whatever you want to, but basing 2/3 of your existence on fighting off other people is a waste of time and resources that could be used to better the planet as a whole, and not just for a handfull of people who had the luck to be born in the correct country.

Hear me out my brother. America is supposed to be a land of innovation and technological prowess. Our current skylines are boring concrete rectangles with the same shade of yellow lights. It's reflective of a bland 20th century ideal of office work and maintaining the corporate machine.

Where the fuck is Polk then? When are we going to redeem his memory? He was the strongest president between Jackson and Lincoln, and one of the most imperialistic. He annexed Texas, negotiated the northwest into our possession, and destroyed Mexico for the southwest. Polk is the entire reason we have a west coast.

No. St. Louis is shit and the Arch can't save it. Plus, St. Louis is not the "Gateway to the West" when the Oregon, Santa Fe, and California trails started in Independence. Also, Independence was where the Mormons were literally kicked out of the state, making them move west. Independence is the real gateway to the west, because its where hordes of people left for the west for good. Lewis and Clark left St. Louis, but they came back.
Oh and by the way, St. Louis is a massive shithole filled with rabid negroes. A lot of my friends in the Guard had to go to Ferguson to keep the negroes from turning all of St. Louis into East St. Louis.

>The moon is covered in a highly reflective dust that sends up to 60 percent of the suns light intensity back to be viewed on earth. Many stars are invisible when the light intensity reaches around 30 percent.
This means you're standing on a giant flashlight making your "night vision" shit and you cant pick up the small amounts of light that are stars. Kinda the same concept why you cant see stars in the city because of light pollution

Its actually worse than what Jefferson or Jackson did. The invasion of Mexico was unwarranted aggression on the part of the United States, regardless of the excuse we used to go to war. The facts are that we asked to buy territory from them, they refused, so we went in to take the territory. When they attacked our troops, we went to war with them.
That doesn't mean that its not our territory now with our people in it. I think its a good thing that we took it from them. I generally think Manifest Destiny is a good thing and a market-based Manifest Destiny philosophy needs to be applied to the rest of the world.

Fun fact:
President Truman came to St Louis to do the commemoration for the Arch before it was built.
My Grandma was there and personally handed President Truman the shovel he used to 'break the ground.'
I've been searching absolutely everywhere for photos/videos of the event but they are few and far between. I'd love to find a picture with my Grandma in it and show it to her. She's 96.

Truman should have dropped the second atomic bomb on St. Louis and destroyed the arch, only to rebuild it in his home town Independence.
Cool story, though. Do you still have the shovel? If you do, you could probably sell it to the Truman Library in Independence.

What type of scumbag would sell a piece of American history? Have some national pride for fucks sake
>>72350146
Oh no, she was just there with the female veterans post and was the one that handed him the shovel. Who knows what happened to it.
She told me there were tons of cameramen there filming and photographing the whole event. I should email the Truman Library and see if they have photographs they could send me.
