Buildings, statues, movies, books ... the things we create are not history. They are just a "story". Someone's materialized thoughts. The beauty of true history is not that it is written - but that we have the ability to rewrite it.

Satan's millennial daughter Enid on her latest assignment. Statues are for the living. If the new homeowners want to toss the hideous garden gnome you left behind in the trash - that's their right. Move them or lose them.

A country is defined by its people - not a statue or a flag. The great historical irony that the strongest "my heritage" chorus comes from the "hippies" of the 60s and 70s as they shout - "get off my lawn you lazy millennials"!

Let's get uncomfortable. Why? Because this issue won't go away on its own. Especially when otherwise intelligent people say unintelligent things. THIS ... should be a litmus test for any government sanctioned public display.
