Just what Utah needs — a shiny silver 300-foot tall phallus!
This will attract tourists from all over the world, especially when they see the two hands tenderly embracing it!
Such a shame that of the many wonderful sculptures by Gary Lee Price, this is being considered for a monumental installation. What’s with the obsession with size? Yeah, I forgot what we’re talking about.
For the kind of money being considered for this project, a magnificent sculpture garden could be designed. Or, better yet, the funds could help those who have lost their income due to irresponsible government cutbacks based on quotas rather than performance and necessity.
Or it could subsidize health care for the thousands of Utahns who will be losing insurance coverage.
Or stock food pantries for those who have seen the price of groceries exceed their budgets.
Or allocate funds to provide dental care for children who no longer have access to fluoridated water.
How about taking responsibility rather than worshipping the equivalent of a golden calf?
