One thing that we are very used to doing is giving importance and gravitas to old, historical things. That can cause us to not see things for what they truly are. Take the elderly for example. I'm not saying that you shouldn't love the elderly. I'm saying that just because someone's old doesn't mean they aren't a jerk. Don't waste your time giving respect to an old person just because they're old. They have to earn it just like you do. Now, enough picking on the elderly. Let's pick on the white house.
The White House has been in disarray for a while. Like the past couple hundred years. But seriously, it seems like this recent iteration of the US government has been screwing up badly. The magnificent image of the white house isn't so magnificent when it's filled with crap. That's what this image reminds us. All that glitters is not gold.
