Indian araaeology will get its rightful focus with a St. Augustine Natonal Historical Park, National Seashore and National Scenic Coastal Parkway Act

Whenever a Spanish coin is found in a well in St. Augustine, there's a major PR offensive from the City of St. Augustine and front-page hoopla in the St. Augustine Record (see below on finding of child's lost doll).

Yet St. Augustine City Commissioners allowed a 3000-4000 year old indigenous Native American Indian village on Red House Bluff to be destroyed, giving in to the indecent demand of ROBERT MICHAEL GRAUBARD and mouthpiece GEORGE MCCLURE.

Never again! Enough of government caving in every day in every way to spoiled rapacious privileged robots, men with what H.L. Mencken called "a libido for the ugly."

With a St. Augustine National Historical Park, National Seashore and National Scenic Coastal Parkway, government archeologists with federal whistleblower rights will help guide us -- not bossed and bullied by developer-directed MARK ALAN KNIGHT. KNIGHT is our estimable Planning and Zoning Director, formerly of Lake County, who was hired April 18, 1998 (only five days after WILLIAM B. HARRISS was hired as City Manager for Life by St. Augustine City Commissioners. Those Commissioners rarely question KNIGHT and won't subject BOSS HARRISS to the indignity of a performance appraisal.

With a St. Augustine National Historical Park, National Seashore and National Scenic Coastal Parkway, we will at last start to heal the scars on our landscape as we heal the divisions in our community caused by crooked developers ("nowhere men" making their "nowhere plans for nobody").

With a St. Augustine National Historical Park, National Seashore and National Scenic Coastal Parkway, we'll once again have a truly cosmoplitan city" here in what our city archaeologist Carl Halbirt calls America's "first cosmopolitan city."

With a St. Augustine National Historical Park, National Seashore and National Scenic Coastal Parkway, we will start to protect 11,000 years of history (not just 500).
