We literally tore down a statue of a general that was crucial in the victory against the redcoats... Because he was a slave owner. 

So we don't exist as the USA if this man wasn't in his position. 

This can be dissected in many ways, but we have enough current issues that eating time and resources to chase ghosts seems silly.

Just look at the a California proposals, the reparations and etc... I mean it's out of hand, it probnaly won't pass, but the fact that it's even a talking point is just stalling current issues at hand.... But it's California lol

Damn, I was in Banff all last week and I got lucky as it was rainy. The one day it wasn't, the smoke showed up in the evening. It's no joke this year. Best of luck up there with this all.

Yeah, I can’t be bothered enough to theorize what more pressing issues CA is letting go by the wayside for this.  You must be putting more energy into it than I am.

“How could anyone think like that” is a really great way of trying to work with and better understand people.

Statues are stupid.

The world is sinking under the weight of useless bronze.

I don't disagree, I could care less about it being there; But since it's been up for 100 years, why go through all the effort to take it down. It's not like it was a bronze pocohontas taking it up the @ss in a public square.

We have one of those town vacuum trucks that drives around for grass clippings.  For some strange reason, my wife doesn't like me telling my son that it's called the suck truck.
