After a long drive we visited the site of the Battle of Little Big Horn and the so called "Custer's Last Stand". This is an incredibly sad memorial to man's inhumanity to man. On a bleak windswept hillside, markers show where people were killed either trying to defend their way of life or trying to destroy another culture. There was no joy here.
In the evening after a wonderful dinner in a local barn, we visited Mt Rushmore to see it lit up at night and hear the story of the Presidents depicted on the mountain. There is no doubt they were an extraordinary group of visionary leaders. But then this country also elected George Bush. What's going on here?
