[QUOTE="donner, post: 3022512, member: 277"] Where to begin. Aside from the false premise that this is 'erasing' history, i mean. 1) As i said, we elect them to make decisions, so why can't they make the decision about what statues stay or go? 2) headstones in a cemetery aren't statues on a public town sqaure or in a park. 3) Locals don't make up local governments? You elect a mayor (presumably someone who lives in the area), as well as a council (again, i'm guessing there are some laws about where these people have to live). You allow them to spend millions of dollars on public safety, roads, make decisions about tax incentives, policies, etc. But they can't decide about a statue in a park? That makes total sense. The populous isn't being overridden. If the populous wants the statues back, elect people who will put them back. Instead of the people who vote to remove them. [/QUOTE]
