Can People Think Anymore?
The New York Times reports today: A desert motor race in northern Chile destroyed geoglyphs — vast figures that Indigenous people carved thousands of years ago.

I know this post has nothing to do directly with Lincoln.

I think we should give a collective sigh of sadness and say "This is wrong!"
