I've embedded an excerpt from YouTube below. The Mt. Rushmore info starts halfway through. I don't find the tone particularly constructive, but it's interesting and entertaining. <object width="320" height="265"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/fl0DBmFLlfk&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/fl0DBmFLlfk&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="320" height="265"></embed></object> Thanks for pointing us to this, Tim.

Probably because only checkered people have the money to spend on monuments. If we really think about it - a more liberal person would probably have spent the money to help people instead of building a monument :) Most monuments seem to have a checkered past.

As a matter of fact, though, American Indian communities are divided about it. Defacing a mountain to honor someone who held nature in such high esteem strikes some as hypocritical.
