Liars Mountain

There is a solution to the national waste and trash problems facing our country. Recycling is alive and growing and is a common sense approach to handling a large amount of waste materials. Landfills seem to be the current answer to the remainder of the trash that cannot be recycled. We are running out of space for this procedure. I have a solution.----------- In the Dakotas we have an area called the badlands that, at present, have no useful purpose. Let us run a rail line there and start a mountainous landfill. Rubbish and trash from all over the nation delivered to the badlands. Landfills are constructed of layers of trash covered by a layer of dirt or gravel. Continue the procedure until a  huge mountain is created. Level-off that mountain top to accomodate two huge blocks of white granite or marble from Vermont or New Hampshire and one huge block of coal from West Virginia. Bring on the sculpters and carve the heads of Richard Nixon, Bill Clinton and Barak Obama (ala Mt Rushmore) out of those blocks on that landfill mountain top. Now the badlands become a tourist attraction in the Dakotas. Presidents who lie will have a place in history on future mountain tops.Passenger trains can bring the tourists. Hotels will be built and a new industry is created. It is amazing what good can come from presidential trash and everyday rubbish. Welcome to Liar's Mountain. ------Grandpa Gordon
