We can respect where we come from which is everywhere. We can keep things of significance but we don't need to make everything a sacred site. Most of it is driven by money - take that away and most couldn't care less. Everyone has things that are important to them - our childhood homes are sacred to many of us doesn't mean we have the power to stop things progressing forward.
