They need to weigh the pros and cons. I think if you have half a brain it is easy to determine what SHOULDN'T be done, but this is just IMHO. Report this Post to the Staff

This has been going on for centuries, would it not be nice if the human race learned form the past. Just think what the temple in Jerusalem would look like, but not a stone left unturned.

Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 06/16/2011 9:50 pm We have similar issues in the US. People try to save land to commemorate civil war battle fields. If they are building a hospital that will be named after the battle field, I would like that. If they are building a shopping mall that will be named after the battle field, I would be okay with it. If they are building an office building with no reference to the battle field or its history, I would be against that. Edited by Fuzzy317 06/16/2011 9:52 pm Report this Post to the Staff
