HAVE FELT STRONGLY ABOUT THAT ISSUE FOR DECADES.

I feel we need to do like the Chinese do in Taipei.

Their national museum is on the side of a mountain. They have enough stuff saved--thankfully--from before the Cultural Revolution on the Mainland--that with 3 floors of the museum . . . changing the displays on one floor every 6 months . . . it takes 11 years to show it all.

The rest of the time, the stuff is deep inside vaults way in side the mountain.

Our arrogance has been to assume that we were such masters of our own fate and geopolitics that we could protect our own Capital sufficiently etc. HOGWASH.

Part of me cares more about the Library of Congress than the Smithsonian . . . but either one would be a huge loss. Both . . . sigh.

But, if, as may be possible, God is intent on taking the whole planet back to an aggrarian life-style . . . we wouldn't be able to do much to protect against that.

Not sure what I believe about that.

The Smith has great storage vaults, underground. I think the Library of Congress does too. Maybe some DC'ers can enlighten us on that, as I forget.

I thought there were 2 originals of at least one of the major documents, Constitution or Declaration.
