Is it just me or does the top of the Washington Monument look like it's smiling?

@DukeOfEarle I don't think it's ever been super white

Mmm kay. I thought it was made of marble but obviously not. @SW-User

@DukeOfEarle Haha marble would've been too expensive I think 😆

And expense has ever stopped them before? 😉@SW-User

@DukeOfEarle 😏 Ahem...Do I need to remind you of the Viet Nam War?

Oh you mean the “police action” we took in Vietnam based on the Gulf Of Tonkin incident that many believe was nothing but sheer fabrication? Sure I’ve heard of it. That ended up costing a few shekels, didn’t it? @SW-User

@DukeOfEarle The damage that America caused Viet Nam....And you called that a few shekels? 🤨

That was tongue-in-cheek, implying it was much much more than a few shekels, not to mention the overall damage that was done to the nation as a whole. @SW-User

@DukeOfEarle Yes, I know. I'm from Viet Nam. They crammed all that shit in our heads since first grade

We get a lot of one sided history here as well. As a species history obviously teaches us nothing since we persist on making the same mistakes over and over again. @SW-User

@DukeOfEarle That's a good point. There are things that will never change, I guess

I always hold out hope despite the overwhelming statistics.
