• This chair is not as the large as the one in the Lincoln Memorial so it is not the exact scene that is shown on the Lincoln Memorial. - sammy07ut

    I really wish being a public servant in this country can be allowed to desearve more respect and a bigger chair to sit on with much comfortable and an image that suit their position better.

    In democratic system of this country, public servant, under the strain of power balance, almost nearly became public slave.
