Hey, George,

Am I the only one to notice the irony that the Chalkboard part of the First Amendment Monument serves as a barrier between the Podium and City Hall? I guess the designers were observing that, in Charlottesville, you're free to voice your opinion, but City Hall won't hear you.

Editor's Note: So much for speaking truth to power. For more, see Charlottesville City Council Votes in Favor of Free Speech Chalkboard.
