- really people? You want to complain about which way the memorial is facing? *sigh* -- nm - sycor Aug 23, 14:33 4
  - In the unlikely event media doesn't immediately find someone willing to complain, they just look harder. "Everything's super" is rarely a story -- nm - Roger More Aug 23, 14:37
  - I'm not sure I like the literalness of the "mountains of despair" behind it, but the statue itself is a marvelous piece. -- nm - znufrii Aug 23, 14:35 2
