"Most people would agree that buildings represent a valuable record of any society's past, but controversy arises when old buildings stand on ground that modern planners feel could be better used for modern purposes."

The following appeared as part of an article on government funding of environmental regulatory agencies.
"When scientists finally learn how to create large amounts of copper from other chemical elements, the regulation of copper mining will become unnecessary. For one thing, since the amount of potentially available copper will no longer be limited by the quantity of actual copper deposits, the problem of overmining will quickly be eliminated altogather. For another, manufacturers will not need to use synthetic copper substitutes, the production of which creates pollutants. Thus, since two problems will be settled -- overmining and pollution -- it makes good sense to reduce funding for mining regulation and either save the money or reallocate it where it is needed more."

多数人会同意建筑是任何社会的过去的有价值的记录，但是当老建筑位于当代设计者认为用于现代目的会更好的地方时，争议就会冒出来。

关于环境治理代理的政府基金的文章：
当科学家们最终了解了如何从其他化学元素中生成大量的铜以后，对铜矿的治理就不再需要了。首先，由于蕴藏的可采的铜不再受限制于实际的铜矿数量，过度开采的问题会很快得到完全地清除。另外，生产者将不再需要使用合成铜的替代物，这一物质的生成中会产生毒素。因此，由于这个两个问题，过度开采和毒素污染，都得到了解决，减少采矿治理的基金而将之用到更需要的地方是很合理的。
