You’re entitled to your opinion, misguided, dead wrong, semi-literate, and ill-informed as it may be.

And no, I won’t mind my “own business.” The preservation of the heritage of that battlefield IS my business as a taxpaying citizen.

And you could not possibly be more wrong about it not being next to or even in “site” (nice spelling, by the way). It’s .53 miles from the southern boundary of the Park and in clear sight of that spot. And, whether you want to recognize it or not, that ground IS part of the battlefield. Union attacks began there.

Next time you want to state an opinion, at least do your homework and don’t come across as an ignoramus.

It is a reprehensible thing to show such disrespect to our heroes and our sacred hallowed ground, made hallow by the blood of our ancestors who gave everything for their country. A society that does not respect its hallowed ground, does not remember and revere its heroes and is incapable of identifying appropriate and inappropriate linkages between temporary commerce and greed, and the permanent special places where our heroes showed us the true meaning of American culture and values and the greatness of our national character is surely a society in deep decline.

We must stop this ridiculous post-modernist, nihilism decline and oppose meaningless and temporary advantage at the sacrifice of places that ought to be held as hallowed in perpetuity.

We are in such desperate difficulties today because we do not know nor revere our past. It is altogether fitting and proper that the film was done in the rain. How dreary and miserable a thought to even consider a casino or any other massive development in the rural and quiet places of Gettysburg where our heroes fought and died. God help us all.
