Talk about biting the hand that feeds you!

British comedienne (and graduated from Gonville and Caius College at Cambridge University) Holly Walsh pointed out that "mocking something with comedy is a far more effective tactic" and she added, "why not black the face of the statue". Oh, go on, laugh - it was funny even if you are po-faced.
And it would stand as a testimony to the current mores & attitudes. Clever and humorous, unless you are po-faced.

The subject is a couple of clear examples of how history is won by the victors. Might is right. And is the issued that clear cut? A man acquires wealth on the back of the downtrodden and over many years give back even to the decendants of those downtrodden. & that is not a pyrrhic victory neither!

And weren't Bill Clinton and Kris Kristofferson Rhodes scholars? Just saying to muddy the waters further. It ain't a black and white issue!

on wiki it says: Kristofferson has stated that he was greatly influenced by the poet William Blake while at Oxford, who had proclaimed that if one has a God-given creative talent then one should use it or else reap sorrow and despair. eerily apt here.
