Or… is it called a ‘reflecting pool’ because visitors are meant to gaze into it and reflect upon the lives and sacrifices of the men and women memorialized up and down this portion of the National Mall?

Expertise and understanding save money and lives, while incompetence and corruption beget catastrophe.
RIP Walter Parazaider. Chicago (well, the early stuff, anyway) is one of my favorite bands.
