So you confirm my statement about judging previous generations by your standards. History will do the same to you.
Guess I better not be a genocidal piece of
**** then!
No I would not. I would be in favour of a plaque that laid out the persons accomplishments both the good and the ugly. People can decide for themselves. You just want to use statues as a different kind of propaganda.
Statues by nature are propaganda tools, pick your poison.
If people want an even assessment of a historical figure's accomplishments and legacy they aren't going to get it reading a 100 word plaque.
