    Have you ever heard as pretentious and self-involved person as Maya Lin? Please do not let this woman design any public spaces in New York City....we have enough useless eyesores and wastes of public funds to line the pockets of "artists".

    Great creativity, wonderful works of art. Maybe next she could design a memorial for the 50 million unborn children that have been killed in the last 35 years in abortion, we need one. She already has a design: the one she has for World War III, the hole that you walk in, then have to walk out of.
