Bronze plaques are disappearing from historical monuments and buildings all over the country. Bronze grave urns are stolen everywhere.
The famous bells that lined hundreds of miles of Californias El Camino Real long ago disappeared. The bells were inscribed, "El Camino Real 1769-1906," the dates reflect the founding of the first Mission in 1769 and the dedication of the first bell in Los Angeles on August 1906. The plan had been to place one bell along each mile of the El Camino Real Highway. By 1913, a goal of 450 bells was reached.
Isn't it interesting that our nation was rich enough in the early part of the 20th century to place these historic bronze markers along every mile of a 450 mile road. But 80 years of the massive welfare state have caused the nation to become so morally impoverished that such monuments are stripped bare by welfare bums.
