You're not going to believe this one!

The Statue of Liberty's intent to inspire people to build their own democratic societies is even more important now that the planet is home to over six billion persons. The huddled masses cannot all be saved by immigration to America. The rescue paradigm of immigration is clearly no longer appropriate, if it ever was. In fact, the "wretched refuse of your teeming shore" threatens to become a permanent underclass. The problem is that those outside America see her as a shining light, a beacon.
Immigrants have told many stories of seeing the Statue of Liberty, and then accomplishing great and wonderful things, in America.
Why did the French give you that statue, anyway?
Interesting. Thanks for posting.

Too stupid for words. Worse, at least one FReeper has supported it. Now that's scary.

David Caulkett needs to find something else to worry about.
He probably won't have a had time.
