Why I think pyramids should be blown to bits
Because they (along with similar massive structures like the one this article describes) are almost certainly all simply monuments to slavery.

On the heavily forested eastern slopes of the Andes, Peruvian farmers have discovered a massive ruin whose unusual size and shape promise to shed new light on the relationship between the Chachapoyas and the Inca warriors who destroyed their civilization.
The rectangular, block-like structure — nicknamed Huaca La Penitenciaria, or Penitentiary Ruins — is reminiscent of Incan architectural style, but a large frieze across its front is the signature of the Chachapoyas — the so-called Cloud People of ancient Peru.
The unusual conjunction of traits, as well as its location at a lower elevation and much further east than the Chachapoya empire was previously known to sprawl, hint that it might have been built by forced Chachapoya labor under the direction of Inca rulers, said Keith Muscutt, a Chachapoya expert who described the find this month at a meeting in San Francisco of the Institute for Andean Studies.

At first I was going to say something like, "Yeah, but it would be a shame to blow up something with such historical significance and something so cool from an engineering standpoint," etc.
But then I thought of the Lincoln Memorial and, regardless of how beautiful it may be physically, I would kind of like to see it blown up.
The FDR memorial too.

Exactly. But even more so.
"Historical significance?"
Puh-leeeze. What is 'significant' about some ass of a king enslaving tens of thousands to build himself a tomb to satisfy his lust for power and desperate wacky religious cravings for immortality?
So... don't you wonder why the pyramid in the picture has two moons above it? :)

Significance = Remembering past civilizations. And besides, even you say they're "almost certainly" monuments to slavery. Even if that's true, does that mean we should destroy all evidence of the Holocaust? Who is "we" by the way?

1) Good call on the 'we' :)
2) Let's change 'almost certainly' to 'certainly'.
3) How 'civilized' is a mound of rocks built by slaves to entomb a dictator?
4) Who said anything about destroying 'all evidence' of *anything*?

I am not at all sure the accepted purpose of the pyramids is correct. I am not the only one who believes they may well have been some type of power source based on a different type of technology than our conventional electrical system today.
It could have been based on gravitic principles or I have even heard theories that the great pyramid could amplify sound vibrations. The huge stones above great hall are broken and some have speculated it could have been broken trying to use it beyond its capacity.
In any case better to destroy slavery than its fruits.
