America achieved a great deal in the twentieth century only because it threw open its doors during the late 1800's. If it truly wants to be invigorated in the middle of this century, it's past time to do so again. Instead, I see so many policies and views based on fear.
Of course, it seems very unsettling for some to suggest that everybody who wants free entry should get it. There would be great upheaval and change but that's what North America is supposed to be about. Great things come from a little chaos. Willingness to take chances is what has always defined out continent and made it great.
I took this photo last week. We also climbed up inside to the crown.
