They put more value in the past than the present or the future. They put more value in bricks and mortar than the lives of human beings. <br /><br />They treat "historic" buildings as intrinsically valuable. There is no such thing as an intrinsic value.Brian Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06604845862020723068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2364362406345742956.post-83438534472488956022010-07-14T06:52:22.942-05:002010-07-14T06:52:22.942-05:00I disagree totally with the idea of preserving bui...I disagree totally with the idea of preserving buildings by force - gov't decree. Anyone who cares about saving some old building should buy that people, or convince someone with money to buy it for them, so they can oversee the maintenance of said building for time capsule purposes. <br /><br />Forcing everyone to pay for it is anti-rights and - to judge by the lack of success of government in every other area it has forced its way into, will not actually result in proper preservation of said buildings. <br /><br />The proper way to achieve the goal of the preservationists is by respecting private property rights, not by abridging them.AMAIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12060366419694280372noreply@blogger.com
