Public Statues

I am sick to death of public statues. We put dead public figures in heroic poses, sit them on war horses, set them on sky high pedestals and worship them as demigod. Some of these pedestals are tall enough to serve as cell phone towers. These are not educational figures. These are not historic landmarks. These are graven images.

Some of the defenders of confederate statues ask, "When will this end". The only statues I have any respect for are Christ the Redeemer (Brazil), the statue of liberty (New York) and the statues of fictional characters that make money. The rest of the statues should just go away
