What is the latest on the monument? The last I heard they tried to pull the monument over by hanging a rope over his head.. But then a comment was made by a "prominent" person saying "don't hang the rope around his neck as that is the way they did us". Only problem I have here is--"I don't recall hanging a rope around any one"!! I don't think (I Know)anyone who views this list has ever hung a rope around anyone! Why do the people of this age relate to things in the past as being in the "present" tense? Our generation will probably be the last one to want to display the Confederate Flag as a symbol of our heritage. Each day it is taken down from public display. Even I can't display it at my home as my wife is a graduate of Mississippi State and her response is it is a symbol of Ole Miss. Think I'll sneak it up and see how long it takes her to notice.
