Isn't it interesting to contemplate the statues of say Thomans Jefferson vs Abraham Lincoln.
What does the Lincolm memorial make you think off?
In my view, it is a testament to the almost religious veneration of tirany. A Lincoln Temple would be a more apt description.
I am not saying to remove it. Statues are evidence of places in our history where we have taken an exit to a different avenue. Sometimes these avenues are a turn for the wrong. Other times , for the best.
Being conscious of our past, contemplating it, by means of statues, may help in evading the worst.
