I went to see the Old Man on the Mountain a week after the rock formation crumbled. There was a big gathering on the I93 viewing spot, and numerous NH people were really sad and mourning the loss of this symbol.

The Old Man is also on the NH highways signs.

It contains the word 'log', which is synonymous with 'turd'. 'be logging' placed over the name of the beautiful state of New Hampshire obviously means 'shit on everybody in New Hampshire' and that is patently meant to offend.

He's also on the state quarter.

At least help them to contribute SOMETHING as my tax dollars pay for thier room and board. I think that most (if not all) prisons have a variety of jobs for the inmates.
