I'm a leftist, Catholics generally are, does that make me an idiot too?It's a building... People will still visit it as a shell... People will still visit Paris if the ruins of Notre Dame are bulldozed.
It is a waste of money and resources to rebuild it... It will never be the same, it's gone.
It's sad, but there you go, it's gone.
I said far leftist are idiots. Not leftists.
It's not just any building. It is something that creates permanent revenue. An investment that will attract money and help move the economy. Increase tax collection that will help the government put money in welfare. It's not "watse" of money. I am from finance industry and do know how money works. Spending moeny in infrasture is better than in one time spending. And yes we do also care about human progress. Art is not waste of money.
It is gone. Preserve what's left. People will still come.
Only a wanker would suggest restoring Stonehenge.
I understand public interaction with the historic environment, you understand money.
