This kind of vandalism makes me sick to my stomach.
This is an embodiment of the whole “if it happened before I was born it doesn’t matter” philosophy. Of the “I’m more important, pay attention to ME!” pride-in-ignorance that a growing number of people in this country seem to have adopted as a personal philosophy.
You know, really, it’s beyond ignorance. It’s a willful destruction of humanity’s collective treasure, tantamount to the Taliban dynamiting the statues of Buddha.
“If I can’t create,” this vandal seems to be saying, “I will destroy what others have created. If I don’t understand, I’ll make sure no one else understands, either.”
