After 152 years, Robert E. Lee is finally dangling at the end of a rope. He should have been dangling one week after Appomattox, along with Jefferson Davis and the other traitors.

i went to an IN high school in the vast cornfield [edit: and hog farm; thanks for the memories] northeast of indy.

same shit. plus barely-weaned and unabashed klansmen!

when i moved to more-progressive bloomington, i noticed (in alarm) that the cannons in the civil war monument were pointed north. straight at indianapolis.

Well France has statues of Vercingetorix and there are statues of Boudicca is England... Then again, neither of those two was fighting for any cause besides not being conquered by Romans, so there's really nobody to be insulted by those statues.
