“‘We’ didn’t build Mt. Rushmore, so the question is absurd.”
I agree. A man with a dream and his family along with donations and some helpers built Mt. Rushmore. The “we” is absolutely absurd.
Point taken but the family secured federal funding to complete the carvings.
So, “we” didn’t build it, but we financed it. Sort of like building a house. The Gov’t “stole” it in 1933 by turning it into a national monument...after all, the gov’t paid for it.
There was federal funding for Mt. Rushmore. The Crazy Horse memorial receives no federal funding.
