    But.. the first stonehenge is just a bunch of rocks. What is it good for?

    While this new Stonehenge is a well-meant and impressive achievement, designed and built to further the causes of science and history, I am concerned about unwanted influences sullying its image.

    It is a well-known fact that hippies, wiccans, and other undesirables congregate around the orignal Stonehenge in England, which is seen as a source of cosmic mystical power and other such mumbo-jumbo. The upshot of the whole business is a lot of rubbish, squatters, and jam-band concerts.

    The advertisement for Stonehenge New Zealand indicates that this new henge will be available for "public sessions". One hopes the management of the New Zealand henge will show some discretion in not letting the public face of their fine new site be muddied, painted, and tie-dyed by neo-pagans and new agers.
