JAMES MADISON QUOTE - 1822

"A popular government without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy; or, perhaps both. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance; and a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power knowledge gives."

Piece by piece the historic icon and engineering marvel is taken apart, like vultures picking the bones of a dead animal, sad.

is there detailed plan about the demolition of the bridge? I'm wondering if pilings will be removed or if they will stay (is staying removing bridge does nothing about eliminating a shipping hazard).

Will some of it eventually be dropped by explosives? Thought photos had been posted of holes for charges but don't think there has been any blasting. If when blasting occurs what is plan on notifying boats to stay away and will the new span need to be closed while this takes place? Just seems like it is all being done in secret.
