I cannot allow such a falsehood to be perpetrated.

The Texas Monument is 570 feet tall with a 35 foot star set on the top. Making it by far, the largest Stone column monument in the world.

There is no rule or law stating that the Washington Monument must be the tallest.

Whether or not the "Laus Deo" is under the cap. I will not venture a guess one way or another, but the writer of this lost credibility with the first two false statements.

Thanks for the ping, but I'm not sure what you are arguing against. The San Jacinto Monument was built between 1936 and 1939 whereas the Washington Monument was built between 1848 and 1888. Both were built (at least in part) with federal funds - so if there was an intention in the 1800's that the one monument should be the tallest, congress must have overruled itself.

With regard to the dispute about "...there can never be a building of greater height than the Washington Monument":

The intent of this statement has NOTHING to do with measureable, physical height.

It has EVERYTHING to do with its spiritual height ~~

- the reality that the Creator of all that is, is being supplicated through the constructs of this monument

- the fact that it refers to Old and New Testament Scripture is acknowledgement that more than one of God's Messengers (Prophets, Manifestations... however anyone wishes to describe Them), are being addressed

In the email I received with "Laus Deo" as subject material, I also received the following - no indication was given that this was included in the supplications existing in the Washington Monument. But they are worth reading, remembering, and living.

"When one stops to observe the inscriptions found in public places all over our nation's capitol, he or she will easily find the signature of God, as it is unmistakably inscribed everywhere you look.

... no one who reads this will be able to forget it's meaning, or these words: "Unless the Lord builds the house its builders labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the watchmen stand guard in vain." (Psalm 127: 1)
