Yesterday my friend, Tobi, and I toured the monuments of DC. We stopped by to see Lincoln, WWII, good ol' TJ (Thomas Jefferson), FDR, Korea, Vietnam, and saw - but did not go up - the Washington. We also poked our heads in to the EPA to visit a friend, the Holocaust Museum, and strolled past the White House and where the sold out US Mint tours begin.
All in all, not a bad way to spend a day. I was very impressed by all the monuments and thought them extremely well done.
It makes one wonder about our world leaders today. Though some do indeed seem "great," none really compare to the FDRs or Lincolns of old. Do we just fail to see the greatness in our current leaders because they are in our midst and haven't had the benefit of time to immortalize them? Or is there something lacking in our leaders of today that the great ones had?
And as a side note, the Dept. of Agriculture is HUGE!!! What exactly goes on there I have no idea, but I'm pretty sure each American farmer must have his own personal representative there.
