re: Why aren't the Indian Mounds better protected?

They are 5000 years old.

They have survived cat 5 hurricanes, river floods of biblical proportion, earthquakes, locust hoards, and a century of merciless abuse from tiny little asses sliding down them on cardboard boxes.

Short of a bulldozer or a few sticks of dynamite, they are not going anywhere.

Should they be given more respect? Certainly.

But I don't know what more within the bounds of reason could be done to protect them...
