symbolism forever
Does anyone else find it ironic that the art chosen by the U.S. Postal Service to adorn their ‘Forever stamp’ (“The Forever stamp will always be valid as First–Class postage on standard envelopes weighing one ounce or less, regardless of any subsequent increases in the First–Class rate”) portrays the Liberty Bell — with a large crack prominently visible. The bell was used for approximately 100 years before the crack rendered it unusable in 1846.
100 years == forever…eh, close enough for the U.S.P.S.
