In the face of the sweeping mania to desecrate or remove historic and patriotic monuments in this country, I think that I have a possible solution: Let's make it a tit-for-tat process. For every statue, plaque or building that memorializes the tough times that our nation has survived ... and now the new Left wants to eliminate; the Right has the option to erase an equivalent icon which is offensive to them.
My first choice in this deal would be, in exchange for the Robert E. Lee monument in Charlottesville, the JFK Library in South Boston. OK, OK maybe that's too unequal. Make it just the annual Profiles in Courage Award that is presented there. Or for a closer equivalence, we might exchange Faneuil Hall in Boston for this library. If this swap requires just a name change, we might rename the library -- the Fiddle Faddle Memorial Hall (look it up).
