Reading: Seeing the Past in Present Tense

Yeah. That is true. Everytime when I drive back home from Walmart. I can see the Kaw Indian worrier's statue. But what does it really represent to or what does it actually means? I have no idea.

Because it is located in the middle of the free way. People are either going home or going somewhere else with their auto mobile. So for people like me, I won't stop and spent 60 second to exam this monument.And it is not in a place where passer by can stop and look at it closely. It stands in the middle of the road, cars run fast around it, I normally wont risk to cross the road and see the statue. And since I know nothing about it, it has no emotional connection with me.

It is really interesting about how the government can control people's mind by open up or close down some monuments.  Yeah. It is just like brain washing, when you see something everyday, when you see someone everyday, you will feel familiar and more comfortable being with it.

Just like the cashier who works in the gas station. You might say hi to him all the time and know he is a good person, even thought you never really build any rapport with him, not knowing his name, his favorite food or movies. You just know his existing.

And one day, he quit the job, you never see him again, but you might just think, oh, it is his day off. But not for very long, you stop thinking about him. And one day, you run into him on the street, you dont even know its him anymore.

Propaganda. LOL

Locating.
Just like I said above, be put in a good place, is important.

I don't quite understand the sinking monument. It is fun to sink down so people can write their name on the monument, but if it goes down to the ground. Who else will know about this after ten years?
