No,and if the statue is gone, it's just an overgrown field. Building a 'virtual' statue still requires servers, maintenance, and artists to build that 3D scene. At this point, I think you're living in a fantasy land where 'virtual' means no work? You want to save 'taxes' on something that is paid for by individuals, donations, and the money the park itself takes in? At the same time, kill the tourist draw that is supporting businesses and the whole town? Whole towns die like that... I think that there are a lot of people who died for freedom and this country. And a lot more people who would die for it. You're concern trolling. Why are you here?
I was giving you an alternative since you made the point that the taxes wouldn't be lower - or the donation or whatever - instead of spending money on maintaining a statue and it's grounds build the virtual statute. I think i even said that if you read my comment instead of getting agitated and calling me a troll. so you are an advocate of sending in troops to protect a statue - some of whom are getting blinded? I say let the building and statues fall and if you want to protect something, protect neighborhoods, private businesses and the public. You are still not painting a nice picture of this so called park - an overgrown field and a statue - I don't really think you are going to convince me it is at risk of being toppled or that it is a great draw to the surrounding businesses. The Wrights weren't slave owners or do things that could appear wrong in the eyes of native americans (the reason many of the statues are being targeted). My idea my be a draw - I was trying to help you out since you feel so strongly about your great great grandfather's statue. Lets talk real statues: how about some of the confederate monuments in Savannah? Those may be a draw and bring business into the communities. I still don't give a crap if one of those get toppled. I would think it was a shame if a house or business was damaged - but a statue? they can easily be replaced. Statues may be a draw, but I don't think they are worth endangering military - and like I said before: the government buildings? They can all come down - drain the swaps by eliminating the buildings where the government officials work.
Yes, I think you're a troll. Virtual statues have to be created and maintained. Stored on a server. It's no different. You make no sense. The cost to maintain is close to the same, and vollunteers are more difficult, if not impossible to get. Plus, people aren't going to go somewhere to see a 3D mock up on their phones they can just download. You make no sense with every single point you try to make. And donations are volluntary, not taxes.
Your point on endangering military is a good one. Probably your only point. But, the question is, how much stuff do we let them destroy before making a stand? Do you think history is unimportant? The work the people put in to build and maintain those statues? Truthfully, without some sort of real monument to go to, a lot of businesses will suffer. May as well just tear them down. I'm all for tearing down government buildings, but private small business? Hard work by individuals? Not so much.
I agree with your last paragraph 100% - it is what I was saying with my initial post. I was trying to come up with a solution for your personal issue with the statue at kittyhawk. The virtual statue may not be the answer - I am just trying to throw out ideas. Truth is that statue probably won't fall and we're wasting time discussing it and the town near it. If the statue helps the local economy and it most likely won't be vandalized then why waste time discussing? I also wonder why we have canadians commenting in American matters?
I lived in the US for 27 years. I have a lot of family there, and try to visit every year. I get you with the ideas. My argument was that statues were about more than history, and sentimentality. Which I think is important. But maybe, history and sentimentality might not be a good reason to risk soldier's lives. I do get that. I just wanted to point out that - in a lot of cases - it's about more than that.
Another point is, do you really want big tech to be in charge of our history and how we remember the world?
And if you don't think US politics affects Canadians... It is, in many cases - most cases - more important than our own politics. Still, I do have other reasons for being here.
And, also, I do apologize. I'm not trolling. I do care about all of this. I'm not, nor do I believe I can, nor do I want to influence US policies or decisions. I am just a guy in a forum, talking about things, and learning about things that really do affect me and my family a great deal.
I also agreed that there is maintenance and cost required with virtual statues and even threw out any tax in agreement with you. I was trying to solve your issue and worries over you great grandfather's statue. I care about a town dying, but i don't buy into your belief the town is only making it do to a statue. I still believe we are wasting time, money and people guarding any statue. and many of our town's died when we exported auto manufacturing to canada and mexico with nafta
Right now, I live in Quebec. I don't have anything to do with Kittyhawk, except that I find it really cool that there's a statue there of one of my relatives. But, I see the shape of that town compared to towns a few miles away. These things are big. Not far from me, a similar situation, a town named Granby. They have a zoo. When you drive through that town, you can see it's thriving. Small business everywhere. Drive 30 minutes away, to another similar town without a zoo, and the story is very different. Just because of a little zoo. Monuments, statues, anything tourists might want to see - these things are big for small business.
Heck the more I think about the more I think you're wrong - if a park and overgrown field are the only thing supporting a town, it is going to fall on its own. I feel bad and see you are invested emotionally in this statue and maybe the town, I don't know. But if you are, you should be taking all the ideas people will throw at you to maintain it from dying and stop relying on big government in the form of military force. I know those troops, their housing and food while deployed and their transportation are costing all of tax dollars.
Kittyhawk... You want to tear down Kittyhawk? Which is supported by donations and money that's being brought in by tourists?
i don't want tear down anything - i am not a stupid antifa idiot out causing pain to people and businesses. i never said lets get together and tear anything down. i said is it worth protecting a statue with soldiers?
and now who is trolling - trying to make it look like i want to tear down a specific statue
