        Why? If statue is on government property it should be removed as Robert E Lee was s traitor who fought against our Country bc slavery!

        The more important point is not how fast we take down the statues of traitors, it's remembering why they really got put up.

        govt which is notoriously slow getting things done has been speedy with statue-toppling. could they apply this promptness to other tasks?

        If dirtbag Mayor Daley has taught us anything, it's that you can tear it down anyway and just pay the fine.

        What history? Those statues were put up decades after the Civil War; they aren't the last remaining monuments of an ancient civilization.

        Ahhh spoken as a righteous book burner. Why do you think we cannot trace our history? Humans doing this. Burn a book and rejoice!

        Really? Righteous book-burners speak that way? There are other ways to preserve history without honoring traitors and horrible principles.

        You seem to struggling to grasp my meaning so I'll be clear: Removing these statues is not, and I am not advocating, destruction of history.

        There's no point in continuing this dialogue with such a communications breakdown, although I look forward to your next non sequitur.
