Have you seen that fascist monument smack in the middle of Indy? Backwards!

Fascist monument? That's a real interesting comment. I've never heard the Soldiers and Sailors monument described that way before.

Yes I've been to Terre Haute and experienced the railroad crossings there. Why so few overpasses? Lack of infrastructure. That city is backwards.

Okay, I didn't mean to be disrespectful to service people. What about 'gaudy and overdone'? Does that sound accurate?

They call it "The world's Largest Christmas Tree"


"Every Christmas season the monument is decorated as an enormous Christmas tree. This city tradition is known as the Circle of Lights. The actual tree lighting ceremony is held the day after Thanksgiving. The decoration of the monument uses 4,784 lights and 52 strands of garland to create the 242 foot display." Poor taste!!!

If you have a monument to veterans then fine. Why add to (subtract from) it by draping it for a holiday? I think such is in poor taste. Didn't they have any Jewish veterans from IN?

Indiana is the only state where I have consistently heard that toxic dust from the mills is like money sent from heaven. That's a special kind of brainwashing right there.
