COR TEN Steel

I wonder if the Statue of Liberty would have survived as long as it has, if it had been made from COR-TEN steel rather than Copper in the harsh marine environment it exists in. COR-TEN is a wonderful material (besides leaving rust stains) but it doesn’t hold up well in areas exposed salt and moisture continously.

Government Victims

I was walking by the City of Albany’s Victims Monument. I was thinking it’s odd that government would create a monument to all the people it’s victimized over the years. Seems more like a way to terrorize victims rather then celebrating them.

Maybe though, I have essentially a negative view of the government, mostly consisting of a bunch of patronage workers who are maggots who live off the flesh of society. Who pass and enforce laws not to benefit society but to extract wealth mostly from the colored and the poor.
