Hey, you know what doesn't get struck by lightning and burn up if you spend a quarter of a million dollars on it? About a quarter of a million other things they could've spent that money on that might've actually put food in an empty stomach or shoes on a poor kid's feet.  |
And this : Neu said there were lightning resistors and grounding rods in place around the statue and amphitheater, but they failed to divert the bolt.
