If you go to the Lincoln Memorial, you will be standing in a national park, the National Mall. There, once upon a time, you would have been privileged to watch an eight-minute video about The National Mall, including its use as a site for popular protests, including anti-war demonstrations at the height of Vietnam and the Millenium March for Gay and Lesbian Rights.

No longer. National Parks Director Donald Murphy has ordered that all references to the Millenium March be removed from the video. The same is true of Vietnam-era protests. Murphy's excuse is that the tape "gave viewers the impression that Lincoln would have approved of those issuse" (gay rights, anti-war). Maybe he would have. That's not the point.

In order to pad out the tape's voice-over run length, however, the video has been filled with shots of pro-Gulf War activists and a Promise Keepers rally, neither of which happened at the National Mall!

I want my country back. Don't make me come over there and take it.
