I recall someone recently saying something about Diane Fossey having done more harm than good... I don't know a lot about her, except she apparently looked a lot like Ellen Ripley... can someone point me toward the bad stuff?
Ooh, I just found something:
QuoteSix months before her murder, AP East Africa Correspondent Barry Shlachter quoted Fossey in one of her last interviews as saying that she was habituating gorillas only to whites because blacks were the poachers.
That's, um... specious reasoning, hm?
Also:
QuoteThey said Rwandans whom she suspected of poaching had been stripped and beaten with stinging nettles by Fossey, who removed their animist amulets, set fire to one villager's home and kidnapped their child, holding the little girl hostage for days.
Seems I may have answered my own question.

The main thing she did was stir up a great deal of antagonism from regional villagers toward the movement to preserve the gorillas, and it's very likely that she caused many more killings than would have occurred if she had left well enough alone. Sapolsky wrote about her a bit.

Politicians after making a name for themselves with shitty monuments mainly. Cheap vote getter as supporting the arts and those who don't like it generally never care enough to find out who's responsible.

I've read that the trilby was introduced to fit inside cars as they began to shrink in size in the 1960s... so I think it's fair to say we can blame the hippies for this.

That's from the end of the 1976 version of King Kong, right?
The name originates from a stage adaption of a 1894 novel (& was named after it) as characters wore them onstage, but did apparently reach it's zenith in the 60's [Wikipedia].

We have old-timey looking shoes (and maybe some boots) spread out around the city. All painted differently.

They just appeared one day and I think every so often new ones show up.
Chicago does something like that with cows.

Toronto did it too... with moose. It didn't go over well.
It's not such a bad thing.
I think San Antonio should do it with dildos.
I'd totally help with that effort, and I suspect that there would be a lot of volunteers to help make dickhenge.
Could use earthbag construction too-both cheap, affordable and novice-proof.
But this is Texas. Those phalluses have got to be big...for meany reasons.
In Houston, we do it with vehicles, sometimes...

...I haz new(er) car. I'm planning an interesting paint job... once I've paid off at least some of the note, so the bank doesn't, like, shit themselves.
Meanwhile in China...
