Given any number of contemporary examples of out-of-control machinations representing and representative of California, a "Statue of Responsibility" built on Alcatraz Island in San Francisco Bay would be a fitting absurdity for the most absurd state in the Union.

Post #762 Adding Irony to Insult
“In fact, freedom is in danger of degenerating into mere arbitrariness unless it is lived in terms of responsibleness. That is why I recommend that the Statue of Liberty on the East Coast be supplemented by a Statue of Responsibility on the West Coast.” [Astoundingly, emphasis in the original!]I have no doubt that at the time Viktor Frankl wrote those emphasized words it made sense to him. Today, those same words are the apotheosis of irony.
