The 100 year capsule the Bostonians are putting in next year will contain just one thing: a Koran.

So pols thought pictures of themselves were the most important things to preserve for posterity 100 years ago and they apparently think the same today.
The time capsule seems mostly to tell us how little things have changed.

The first lion statue, along with that of a unicorn, was placed on the building in 1713 as symbols to mark the unification of England and Scotland, Leet said. The statues were destroyed amid the subsequent patriotic fervor . . . . Some things never change.

The time capsule seems mostly to tell us how little things have changed.Exactly. 100 years, and most pols still think the most important thing is taking selfies.
