Victor Frankl makes an interesting suggestion in his classic book Man's Search for Meaning. As a counterbalance to the Statute of Liberty on the East Coast, we should have a "Statue of Responsibility" on the West Coast.
Every right is balanced by a duty, and every liberty balanced by a responsibility. If every citizen took this seriously, think how much better our society would be.
And its not an idle dream. After I started this blog entry I discovered that there is an entire website devoted to this idea. Maybe it will happen--but only if we take responsibility for it.

Where would you put the new statue? San Francisco would make the most sense geographically, but not really contextually.
Hi Sasquatch,
You can vote on where you would like to see the statue built. The choices are: San Diego, Seattle, Los Angeles or San Francisco.
There's a link for voting on the Statue Of Responsibility Foundation's website.
I'm leaning more toward San Diego because of the naval base that is located there. All four choices, though, have good points and bad ones.
Vote, vote, vote!!!!
