This hyperbolic notion that removing the monuments from taxpayer funded grounds is not going to help a compromise.


Well...would it? I honestly have my doubts about that, which as I've said previously in this thread is one of my big concerns about jumping onto that side of the issue. I think some people on that side would be satisfied by a simple removal of all the Confederate memorials from inappropriate public areas like parks, government buildings, etc., but I think a lot of the people who want that to happen also want to see the removal of all historical memorial or recognition of anyone who, during his or her lifetime, did not meet the strict moral standards of today. And that part is what I am very uncomfortable with.

LoL. That's an oxymoron. There are no morals today. Not even close to any.
I don't care anything about statues, etc for any cause for they stray from what idols you and me should have, and that's your family and your best close friends.
It is when that occurs all of society will benefit.
