| #4 all of the above is true, it just tweaks me that people can complain because of too many visitors paying their respects, causing damage. Fix it, and tell the overwhelmed to find somewhere else to work....possibly tending the non-existent caribou at ANWR |

| #3 ...This one should be a no-brainer on somebody's part, especially after the money that got porked on the spending bills over the last couple weeks. Having said that, somebody really does need to take a long hard look at the future of the Arizona Memorial. The ship itself is starting to deteriorate badly - I was recently talking to a friend of mine stationed at Hickam AFB, and he was telling me that there are very real concerns that the Arizona's hull could be so far gone now that there may be nothing they can do to prevent massive oil leaks from her fuel bunkers. Any work that needs to be done is complicated by the fairly delicate ecology of Pearl Harbor and Arizona's status as a war grave. One way or the other, though, a call is going to have to be made.

| #2 Perhaps we should ask the Chinese for a contribution, since they have been tweaking the Japanese with subs and supporting Kimmie. They need a reminder of why Japan is best left undisturbed. |
