All change for Alcatraz?

Never mind the Republicans. The residents of San Francisco will have more important things to worry about when filling out their ballots this February. Among the boxes, they'll have the option to vote for a significant makeover of one of their most famous landmarks.

Proposition C is a call to "convert" Alcatraz into a "Global Peace Center." The idea being that Alcatraz gives off negative vibes and so should be replaced by an "International Conference Center For Non-Violent Conflict Resolution"

It gets better. 'The Rock' could see the following improvements.

To help usher in all this peace, the center will also include a "Harmonium", a "multi- media facility of Laser Light, holographic sound, and fragrance" that will shoot out holographs into the Bay...

I can't help wondering what Al Capone would make of it all.
