you make things into fact that aren't fact and then make outlandish and irrational analogies to try to prove your point.
If they've survived 6000 years as you say, show me where it's a FACT that they now must be preserved. And your shitting on the vietnam memorial analogy compared to the mounds is off base. If they're just hills used for looking at the river, that's not quite the same as the vietnam memorial in terms of importance. If all they are, are high ground look out points, then they are quite simply, hills. Now they have more cultural significance than that to LSU and to me, but all these people talking about burial grounds and ancient artifacts being there are off base, based on past research and other archeologists

No, it's not outlandish at all. You're right the mounds are just hills and the nam memorial is justa list of names. I pay for lsu tickets : I do what I want. I pay my taxes : I do what I want.
What the native americans used them for is irrelevant and if you even take that into account you're already missing the point. It's an artifact. If you're that concerned with sliding down a hill... Move to Colorado! If people on the mounds is potentially damaging it makes frickig sense to prevent people from going on the mounds.
