...by investing in a number of sledgehammers, and charging people $20 a blow on the abomination.

I'm quite positive that while sledgehammers are relatively ineffective as demolition tools, like water wearing away a stone there would be enough blows to bring it down, and pound it into dust.

And the cash generated could go into restoring the damage at the reflecting pool, the Rose Garden, etc.

It's an idea, anyway...

Bright
