A fight is a fight. I'm against rounding people up and putting them up against walls, for sure, but if someone is fighting you, you fight back. That's fair. An eye for an eye.

i wish they could protect the businesses - i don't care about the federal buildings and statures - if they fall, it may be a step to smaller government & fewer local taxes. Statues are nothing more than pigeon perches that we pay taxes to maintain.

I hear you, but there's a statue of my great great great grandfather, or something close to that, at Kittyhawk and I kinda like that. It was a pretty big moment in time that is nice for people to remember. Plus, the city gets a lot of business from all the history there. Sometimes the statues and memories are what creates the business in the first place.

*Not related to the Wright brothers, but 2 of the people that were there for the first flights. Still, I'm sure people related to the Wright brothers, themselves, have similar feelings - along with the local business owners who benefit a lot from the notoriety.

not selling me, i go to many historic places and just to see a statue - this isn't ancient greece. the statue may be nice and people look at it when there, but I'm sure they're not going to kittyhawk to look at a statue and without people would still visit. i bet you tell the stores they get a tax break since they don't need to maintain that statue any longer, they wouldn't miss it ether
