They’re laboriously working on printing up something with Sans Serif text. It’ll probably be an Eddie Murphy joke...because, he’s so old!

I think that’s the “lock box” Algore put SocSec in back in 2000.

You mean to tell me the country had moved on within 25 years after the end of the Civil War?

How is the US supposed to deal with this? /s

“Its removal in September came more than a year after Northam ordered it in the wake of protests that erupted after the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis.”


I’m trying to figure out the connection between Robert E. Lee (or his statue) and the death of St. George Floyd in Minnesota. The Army of Northern Virginia may have faced troops from Minnesota. Could that be the link?

I’m tired of the level of idiocy that’s prevalent in today’s America.

I understand the contents of the first box were somewhat worse for wear. Hopefully the conditions of the contents of the second box is better.

So they took the statue down citing racism, why not leave the pedastal up for something else? That alone was a grand structure. Unless of course they wanted the pedestal down so bad hoping they’d find the time capsule and banking on something extremely racist inside.

Maybe it contains small pox.

The box has a small vial in it.

A handwritten letter says "A traveler by sailing ship to the distant land of China returned and gave us a vial with a cure for a disease the Chinese had but to which one of our men developed an immunity. If you in the future need this, it is a cure for Chinese Coronavirus. Whatever that disease may be."
