On the Other Hand..................
Shouldn't we applaud the destruction of ALL the Spanish Missions since they represent the oppression, subjugation and destruction of the Aboriginal
way of Life in the name of a foreign God ?
Isn't that objective near and dear to the hearts of those who are enlightened and aware of the evil spread in the wake of Chris Colombus' invasion of
the western paradise ?
These artifacts of the seeds of that historical Holocaust should be wiped from the earth forever.
Let us Prey.

Hi Bill,
Of course... now if we could only have it BOTH ways to please everyone!
Will the PC police ever learn that to try and please everyone, you end up pleasing no one!?
It is in the past and it happened... erasing the evidence doesn't change what once was... Best to remember the past, than to forget it and have it be
repeated!

Splendid point, MrBM! Are you planning to organize a party of Nomads for the tearing down of those notable reminders of past evil, the mission
churches at San Ignacio and San Javier?
[Incidentally, these are not "artifacts." Artifacts are portable.]

Me thinks that someone should get in Touch with the Catholic Church Powers and tell them what is getting ready to happen, then the Local poor people
who could get togather and stop this Destruction.
DK Send all this Information the the Head /guy of the Chruch in San Diego and los. Angeles. I wager that you will get some help from Them! Contact the
nearsest Church in San Quintin, Colonet Manadero etc.. The churches can stop it!!

IF I had a Hammer............
Actually, I do have some pretty decent hammers. Some of them heavy Sledgehammers.
While I wouldn't be of a mind to organize ANYTHING, if it should become policy to tear them down, count me in for a few blows.
AFTER which, they will certainly be artifacts. While I was using the word to signify "remains", I'll bow to Lera's interpretation since, in
Archeology, "portable" seems to be the qualifier. However, if I wanted to weasel on usage, I could use this from the Stanford University Encyclopedia
of Philosophy:
".........Ontologically, an artifact can be a concrete particular object such as the Eiffel Tower, .............."
BUT, I won't since I was obviously applying the word outside its usual definition.
With a little effort by a lot of people, though, we can make artifacts of them all.
Keep me posted. Anything worth building is worth tearing down.
