Hi,
It's my first cartoon, I think Galt's speech is 8 minutes in real time, I'm limited to 2 minutes & the really good stuff since it is the free account.
I'm open to suggestions.
Atlas Shrugged the movie opens April 15th hehe Tax day.
The Movie
Anyway, regarding Mt. Rushmore... I'm one of those rare American patriots who believe the "just" thing to do is to return it to the Lakota, and allow them to scrape the faces of their oppressors from it if they so wish. It's really a quadruple whammy of an insult, 1) taken from them in violation of treaty due to the discovery of gold, 2) an area sacred to them, 3) defaced with the images of the the conqueror's hero's, and 4) carved by a white supremacist and active member of the KKK.
It would be sad to lose such a beloved national monument, but it represents to me everything that was/is wrong with our treatment of native Americans.
