To: damn proud liberal
I truly wouldn't blame the French if they came and took back that gift they gave us a century ago, the Statue of Liberty.

Blame them? I'd thank them! I always hated that butt-ugly statue. It has caused more misinterpritation of our constitution and what America is about than anything else. And BTW, speaking of France and the French, why don't you get on a flight and be there by tonight. O.K.?

To: southern rock
to your #59:

It (Statue of Liberty) has caused more misinterpritation of our constitution and what America is about than anything else.

Not to be contentious, but it isn't the statue that did this.

It was that danged poem by Ms.Emma Lazarus that some misguided skull full of mush stuck on the statue.

You know, the poem which starts "Give me your poor, your tired, your huddled masses longing to breathe free....".

That alleged poetry has caused the constitutional misinterpretation.

We ain't gonna let the French surrender be French Givers and take back our statue, no matter what DPL (obviously a DU type) says.
