Despite your negative feelings, a lot of people sure seem to enjoy their
visit to Stonehenge. I don't recall being told at the site or in TV
documentaries that it ever was a "Druid" site. Maybe you should stand at
the road underpass with a big anti-Stonehenge protest sign to tell people
the truth. And be sure to tell everyone how much you've read about
Stonehenge and about the Elgin Marbles that were chopped off their historic
Greek edifice and hustled back to England.

It is well known that if they had been left in place they would
be in far worse condition than they are today.

No doubt the Egyptians will want Cleopatra's Needle back too.
