The subjective object.

"I basically said that the stones are not a temple but a tourist attraction."

To a tourist, yes. To the wandering chronicler, yes and no, to the heathen finding a personal 'resonance', no.

What I'm saying is, it's no-ones 'right' to proclaim Avebury as anything so specific, it's a legacy to all of us, and means different things to different people, none worth any less than an other.

Although it's churlish to imagine that it's not more important to You, I, Mr Cope, or Freeavebury than it is to that bunch who drove by and shouted 'hippies' out of the window before burning serious rubber.

There seem to be fundamentalists on all sides!
