I mostly like the message sent, but it's pretty clear to me that we're not the ones that were supposed to receive it.

I just visited there a couple months ago - there's a small camera mounted on a pole about 10 meters from the structure. If it's not a national or state-maintained monument, then who's monitoring this feed?

Hey, I’ve been there! Really weird place out in the middle of nowhere. I always recommend people check it out if they’re in the area. Not much to see, but it’s a good way to kill some time.

The Aussies would be nowhere without their big things!

I can't imagine how pissed off I'd be if I survived a nuclear winter and traveled hundreds of miles to read the prophesied guidestones that could save us all, only to find out that they had several weird eugenicist rules but zero information about like, water purification or animal husbandry.

Well, they do want to 'maintain' a small population, so why would they give you any survival tips?

I just read the 10 phrases and was of the opinion that mostly they apply to the entire world population? Perhaps more so those with a lot of power.

But have you been to the Elberton Fair?

I have not. I moved out of Georgia years ago.
