To be fair, Crissy Field is underutilized prime real estate screaming for a worthwhile, architecturally beautiful monument/museum of some sort. It's too big of a field, usually mostly empty, to be sitting in such a scenic location

What if we legalize murder? People will be forced to be nicer to one another. People will learn self defense and become stronger and more capable. There will be more gun safety because everyone will be trained in gun use properly. Fewer spo
