Comments on: Male Version of Statue of Liberty Proposed for Charleston Harbor http://ltsaloon.org/archives/5439 A Place to Gather and Talk Fri, 10 Sep 2010 12:39:46 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: RS Janes http://ltsaloon.org/archives/5439#comment-8469 RS Janes Sat, 06 Feb 2010 00:09:25 +0000 http://ltsaloon.org/?p=5439#comment-8469 I think I'm one of the few people who lived in NYC for six months and never saw the Statue of Liberty -- not even from a distance. You're right, ken -- I think this is a silly idea, and it probably is being proposed as a joke.

Both times we couldn't take the side excursion up into the torch because it was unstable. I'm almost embarrassed to ask what the "side excursion" would be here. But, I suppose, that could be made into a Coney Island/Palisades Amusement Park like "water"-ride. That having been typed, this IMO is a real stupid idea. Plus, the SOL was a gift. In these times of tight budgets and cutting SC should also be "SOL," in the other sense. What a waste. I noticed part of the post was found on a gay web site. No offense to the gay community intended, but why am I not surprised? I suspect they, more than the stupidly "patriotic" in the straight community, would see the unintended humor here. Are you sure this wasn't proposed by <em>National Lampoon</em> or <em>Mad Magazine</em>? I visited the Statue of Liberty twice as a kid.
