"Progress has never been a bargain. You have to pay for it. Sometimes I think there's a man who sits behind a counter and says, "All right, you can have a telephone but you lose privacy and the charm of distance. Madam, you may vote but at a price. You lose the right to retreat behind the powder puff or your petticoat. Mister, you may conquer the air but the birds will lose their wonder and the clouds will smell of gasoline."

Your posts are predictable, I agree!

Re: Notre Dame Cathedral is burning down...

No, the problem is the answer is: "why not both?"

You're falling into the GOP trap of we can't even pay for X, so why are we funding PBS or giving health care to anchor babies. We're the richest country on the farking planet. We can afford all of the above.

Except in that case both things affect us. In this case we are talking about a church in another country. There is nothing wrong with prioritizing in that regard and is hardly a GOP trap.

Again it isnt like we all cant send them aid if we want to help the rebuild. The USG isnt the only means for its citizens to help rebuild the landmark if they so choose. I personally dont want to (plenty of buildings I would choose to support LONG before Notre Dame) so I would rather if the people in charge just left my money out of it.

And sorry Kepler I get what you are saying but Notre Dame doesnt affect me in any way. Hell when I was standing in front of it I thought the same thing. (loved some of it though) I have been inside the Great Pyramid and been spitting distance from the Sphinx. I walked inside King Tut's Tomb. Notre Dame doesnt even compare.

Didn't they previously restore it themselves in the 19th century, after the various revolutions left it in less-than-stellar condition?

It's constantly in restoration. The 19th C work included adding the spire.

Again, the argument that you don't want to spend it is different than "we can't afford it because hungry kids."

France wouldn't take our money anyway, which makes it all the dumber to not make the offer and get the diplomatic credit for doing so.

The UK Daily Mail is reporting "glass roof" and "greenhouse" also.

There is precedent for the French to take something glorious and to put a glass eyesore into it ....

The Daily Mail.

You realize everything is just a proposal at this point, right?
