Thirty-four new sites are being proposed for addition to the existing 20 U.N. World Heritage sites in the United States. These proposed sites are from a list of more than 70 sites suggested for listing. The decision for listing is expected before the end of 2007.

Among the few people who know about this list, some are elated, and some are furious. The vast majority of people - including elected officials - have no idea how, or by whom, the list was formulated, why it is being proposed, or what the significance of listing may be.

Just what we needed, more regulation.......... .... and by the UN, no less.

In 1972 Richard Nixon was president, so we have him to thank for this.

I never could see why he was considered a conservative.

I am just totally flabbergasted by this one!! We just thought we had a problem with Eminent Domain! This is far worse.
