1). Should any presidents - if funding were available and it were geologically possible to do so - be added to the facade of Mount Rushmore?
2). If so, whom?
3). If not, why not?
Personally I'd think if that if anyone were to be added, it'd be FDR, although I'm sure neo-Cons would want Reagan's image plastered on there - if Reagan were placed, then add Clinton too.
However, given the amount of partisanship that would arise from such a debate, I don't think anyone, not even FDR, should be added - America is and always will be forevermore too politcally polarized to honour anybody else.
And besides, if it ain't broken, don't fix it, and Mt. Rushmore is at least a symbol of America most everyone can enjoy and "agree with," so to speak.
What sayest thee and thou?

A) Leave it as it is.
B) Carve the end of th rockface, on the left, into something you can all agree on being representative of the majority of Presidents that you don't want carved up there... Say, a giant dick, for example... Joke

On top of that, do you know how it expensive it is to clean Lincoln's nose?
Well, technically, it's an unfinished landmark. The original Rushmore was way more extensive than that, complete with the presidents' torso.

Interestingly enough It seems the idea for Sherlock Holmes came from my ancestor too. A series called Benjamin Franklin takes the case.
Ben Franklin and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle both stole ideas from a man born in 1941? Inconceivable!

Projects like Crazy Horse that are still in progress, are another matter - so long as they are finished with the same vision they started with, I have no problem.
If someone wanted to head up a new project along similar lines, go for it - but don't add, subtract, or alter existing works of art.

Making an exception to everything called "Modern Art".
