Because it’s not about the Confederacy…and it’s not about statues:
Liverpool’s Penny Lane…
Philadelphia’s Tomb of the Unknown Soldier of the American Revolution…
…Next?
Don’t worry. If you don’t care about these, they’ll be around for you soon. Then you can scream “But I’m a liberal!” and give them a chance to say “We know. Thank you!”
Amen to that. The world is tottering and no one who thinks he is safe really is safe.
Penny Lane?! Omg. Please. What on earth can there be to “protest” about that?!!!
Apparently it is named after someone who had something to do with the British slave trade….But, of course, it’s not really about that either. The real desire, as always, is to leave no two stones attached.
(And welcome back April…hope you are surviving our various crises as well as can be expected!)
Hi Johnny
Surviving, yes, just on faith and by avoiding the news as much as I can without being completely unaware. Truly prophetic times we are living in. And everyone is going crazier than a bunch of bedbugs. I hope you are hanging in there. Your posts have been marvelous as usual. Going to read about your noir foray now. I’ve seen several poverty row noirs lately that were quite enjoyable.

I haven’t been affected all that much…Florida remained reasonably open. I live in a rural area and work from home so I only notice when I go to the doctors office and they make me wear a mask! Hang in there!
Just like the Covid-19 virus, this sickness will need to burn itself out. There is a complete lack of will to stand up to the mob.
Hey Mike, I hope you’re right…but I have a feeling things are going to get worse before they get better.
