"Anyone else find it ironic that the Liberty Bell is cracked?"

I'm not sure what you mean.... Do you mean that it is ironic that they lined up for the photo of the liberty bell in a way to make it appear cracked or that the actual liberty bell is cracked in real life?

I am a new member but have lurked for some time. Something that has continued to amaze me is the basic lack of understanding of what is posted sometimes. There are several posts complaining of the the waste of "my" tax dollars. All of you who have made such claims.. take a closer look at the pictures. Notice the dates on most fo them are from the first and second decade of the last century?? No, I didn't think so. Some of these pictures are nearly 100 years old. Your tax money?? Hardly. Maybe your Great-Great-Grandfathers tax money, but I doubt he would consider these photos a "waste". Many of you are no doubt on your company computer, complaining of waste while being unproductive on the company dime.

Why did they form a picture of Woodrow Wilson? Perhaps because he was the sitting president at the time. It's called a tribute. regardless of your opinion, he wasn't considered evil back then. Certainly not traitorous.

Why is the Liberty Bell cracked in the photo? Not because of some grand conspiracy, but rather attention to detail. The Liberty bell IS cracked. I understand some of you are simply drawing analogies to the current status of our country, but others are not. That same lack of education and lack of will to educate themsleves is part of the reason for the condition of our country and the world at large.

As I stated earlier, I have lurked for some time and have increasingly become appalled at the intelectual downturn that ATS has taken over the past year and a half or so. Many of the posts in this thread reflect this downturn. Too often members of this site react with their gut and not with their minds.

I know that the Liberty Bell is cracked in real life, I know it was by accident, I know that it was repaired and so on.... I stated it on page 2 of the thread to clear things up.

My comment was stating how appropriate the cracked liberty bell is as a symbol of our broken country.

Semantics
