I just went to the black hills area and I MUCH preferred the Crazy Horse memorial. If you hate Rushmore then I think you would love it too. It actually means something, looks cooler, and isn't funded by the government.

I find it interesting that nobody else had mentioned it.

I don't mind the Feds funding art. I only mind them funding shitty art that violates local customs and treaties with sovereign tribes. Like, zero redeeming qualities here with Rushmore.

Not sure who downvoted you two times or why.

People down vote the strangest things

You're right, I was wrong. He was an assistant to the sculptor of Rushmore.
