I agree with that.  I am tired of public funds being spent on projects  that 
are really only of interest to some small segment of American  society.  I 
think we need another memorial to slavery like we need a  memorial to 
prohibition...another bad American idea that we should forget.
 
Suggesting that Fortress Monroe is as historically significant as  
Jefferson's Monticello is just a further insult to the man along the lines of  unproven 
and unproveable allegations of miscegenation with a slave girl.

Sounds  like a perfect project for raising private funds from those who deem  
 
it of great historic significance, and not wasting public funds.
