Mind you, if it had been Mount Vernon burned to the ground, he would have been elated.

Fisk dateline 2010, "as the election of Hillary Clinton and the subsequent people's revolution in Amerika have been a hard to understand movement, we are now provided with a symbolic moment perfectly characterizing the revolution and its glory in the burning of the Library of Congress.... "

"Several members of the worker's revolution set ablaze this insidious institution which housed the propaganda of the Amerikan fascist regime for over a century. You could see the joy in the people's faces as they grabbed original copies of the so-called Declaration of Independence and set them afire along with copies of the reprehensible fascist dogma known as the Federalist papers. Various oppressed peasants were able to redeclare property such as 18 and 19th century furniture that the fascists had claimed for themselves....."

"It was a final and welcome destruction to the plague that had become rugged individualism and superstitious beliefs in "God-given" rights."

The poor and uneducated people in American cities would destroy Government buildings if they could get away with it.

I live is Washington DC and was wondering if the museums on the mall would be pass up by thieves (Ali-Baba's) if all events were the same.

Well, I don’t think so! The Hope Diamond would be the first item to go.

I believe evil people are the same all over the world now because of air travel and communications.

Good Luck...Hmmmmm...I wonder....

45.52 carats The Hope Diamond--the world's largest deep blue diamond--is more than a billion years old. It formed deep within the Earth and was carried by a volcanic eruption to the surface in what is now India. Since the Hope Diamond was found in the early 1600s, it has crossed oceans and continents and passed from kings to commoners.

It has been stolen and recovered, sold and resold, cut and recut. Through it all, the diamond's value increased. In 1958, Harry Winston donated the Hope Diamond to the Museum, and it now belongs to the people of the United States.

Visit the Museum to learn more about the dramatic interactions between people and this diamond, and about its natural history. Visit the Janet Annenberg Hooker Hall of Geology, Gems, and Minerals which opened in September, 1997.
