peace center, schmeace center

according to this recent new york times article, some 60-year-old hippie wacko who, in the grand tradition of one-name revolutionaries, calls himself simply DaVid is proposing to convert alcatraz island into a global peace center that looks a little something like this:

i'm all for peace, but i think it's pretty obvious this is the dumbest idea ever. mostly because i'm obsessed with creepy stuff such as ghosts, old sanitoriums, and prisons, and i haven't yet had the chance to visit alcatraz and get locked in a cell. so obviously, if they converted it into a peace center, that dream would be lost.

also, how could you tear down a locale that inspired one of the best TBS superstation movies ever??
