When the early Puritan people sailed across the ocean, they did so believing that they were the actual woman fleeing persecution in the book of Revelation. In great faith, they floated above what was perceived at the time to be a bottomless pit populated with sea monsters.
In my interpretation of the Statue of Liberty (it is a work of art, after all), the monument represents this New World woman prostituted by the Old. For this reason, she divorced herself from the corrupt tyranny which persecuated her. Her blindness represents the tresspassing homeless whose only hope is to walk in faith.
Once again, America isn't in the old world business of sitting pimps on the throne. No, to be more precise, she only accepts the pimping and whoring (capitalism) as a necessary evil with the understanding that it is the nature from where we all came. But we shouldn't confuse the nature from where we all came with that of the New World that we desire to acheive. In this New World, it was declared as self-evidently true and unalienably a natural right that we are all born equal men with a business agenda -- male and female.
So, as Americans, we shouldn't just consider the outward business of sitting the great pimp upon the throne; but, we should also consider the inward business of how the pitiful whore might go about getting herself off the street.
