| Message | Well, perhaps if you had mentioned this while this was in debate a concession could have been made. Though we appreciate your candor. It truly is a shame fellow conservatives should try and dismiss historical monuments and national treasures to our Republic by not supporting the arts by proxy of museums and preservations thereof. |
