One excuse is that<br />the North was simply exhausted and didn't want <br />to fight it anymore. Can you imagine what might<br />have happened if Germany was allowed to put up<br />statutes to Nazis in the 1960s because they<br />fought honorably?<br /><br />Never should have happened. Existing statues<br />should be torn down and melted into slag.<br /><br />Stone Mountain. Different. Stone Mountain is to<br />the Confederacy as Auschwitz is to Nazi Germany.<br />It should be preserved and used as a teaching<br />tool. You don't want to completely bury the past.<br />You can't - and if you try bad things will happen.<br /><br />Too bad it's in the middle of an amusement park.<br />But maybe that's a good thing as children need to<br />be the target if we ever hope to make peace with <br />the past re the Civil War.gwdMainenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15663150.post-7250755426974581322020-07-24T07:33:48.527-04:002020-07-24T07:33:48.527-04:00That morning Edition article about why some Vermon...That morning Edition article about why some Vermonters fly the Robert E. Lee battle flag? This is why I can't stand to listen to NPR. So they talked to one person who threw a bunch of contradictory nonsense, and to a bunch of college professors. Great. I am now so informed. Maybe the reason the two or three others who wouldn't talk are hardline racists that would never talk to a smarmy NPR content provider? Just a wild guess.DWVRnoreply@blogger.com
