Removing Statues

What does it say about your people if preemptively removing them would deter rioting?
Yep, you negotiate with terrorist. It's probably a stretch, but if you're Jewish neighbor was so against Christmas that he asked you to remove your nativity scene, would you do it? I'd do it just to stop the whining. Most Americans who celebrate Christmas wouldn't. But that will be in our future (which is why Trump got elected).

The University of Texas has removed their Confederate statues. In the middle of the night, like cowards. What will go in its place will be up for debate. Seriously though, why put anything there at all. Our history is pretty much being erased anyway. A lot of people consider Facebook or Instagram as their photo album in life. What difference does it make? In the 8 years with Obama, we were all conditioned to believe the small stuff makes a difference. These things do nothing. Except really piss off historians (apparently). But people love scientist, can take-or-leave historians.

Frankly, I don't care. I didn't pay for them and I don't go to colleges anymore. I don't think anyone should. We should bankrupt them because they are REALLY useless, except as football factories and that's all dying now too. Is taking down the statues curing cancer or lowering crime in the inner city. Or lowering taxes. Nope. It's simply a dumb move made by dumb people to stop idiots from protesting stupid shit. Meanwhile, 500 people in Sierra Leone died. Simply washed away in a flood.

Let's send our statues there to block the dams. Win-win.
