From this article:
"San Francisco voters will decide on Tuesday whether to remove the famous Alcatraz Prison visited by thousands of tourists a day and instead create a 'global peace center.'"
"Supporters would like to raze the prison and build a medicine wheel, a labyrinth and a conference center for non-violent conflict resolution."
Ok, seriously?
Geez, I'm all for non-violence, peace, love, all that. But raze a historical landmark? And a very, very popular tourist attraction?
Oy.
Here's hoping this goes the way many other odd measures on the SF ballots in recent history. Away…quietly. (then again, there's some odd sh-- that's been approved by voters too, so who knows?)
