[QUOTE="Ana the Ist, post: 75157414, member: 302807"] Why? Who are you or anyone else to say who a sculptor can sculpt a statue of? No offense....but the statue destroying side lost all credibility on that argument . I had this discussion just a few years ago when they were tearing down statues of Lee and various other Confederate figures. I was told it was all about the intent of whomever put up the statue. That's clearly either an argument from ignorance or a plain lie at this point. Grant doesn't symbolize slavery, the confederacy, or any legacy of racism. Those things certainly aren't the reason why the statue was created. Did someone kill or die over the statue? I don't see sculpture in itself as an act of veneration. If you do....tell me who the statue of David venerates. What prevailing attitude? In this case....blatantly false historical revisionism and the ignorant masses. Why should you get to decide who gets a statue? Shouldn't the sculptor decide? [/QUOTE]
