[QUOTE="Eight Foot Manchild, post: 75156202, member: 268751"] That seems the most fair course of action. But again, in this particular case, I don’t know that you could have a public vote. I don’t know what the legal precedent is for public voting to remove a privately funded monument. If a mob of residents showed up to destroy Ice Cube’s star, specifically as an act of protest to call attention to his history of associating with anti-Semites like Louis Farrakhan, I’d be mostly indifferent. No, a lot of them are. Which is part of the reason why I would prefer whatever institution they’re associated with remove them instead. That gets into another complex issue - if a piece of art is privately funded, but publicly consumed or experienced, who really “owns” it? I don’t have easy answers. [/QUOTE]
