        @aral @Indiegogo @me_l I don't agree with tearing anything down, but the project is just about "drawing plans," not any actual demolition.

        @aral @Indiegogo @me_l no I know, I know. It's not cool at all. But there's no gov't approval to tear anything down built into this project.

        @aral isn't the internet a place where everyone has a voice? Good or bad? In my opinion this has nothing to do with @indigogo 1/2

        @sidneydekoning @indiegogo is a private space. They can decide whether they want to be associated with this. If they do, fine, we’ll know.

        @aral know what? That they provide a platform where people can express themselves and ask for help? And private? Really?

        @aral ugh, appealing to prophecy as a driver in the first paragraph… it scares me the volume of people with whom it resonates.

        @aral I’m reminded of Hitchens’ love of the Parthenon. Destroying something so awe-inspiring would be grotesque to me, even with no faith.
