    I agree with the ‘keep it there and put a plaque with the opposite position RIGHT next to it’ solution, public art only.

    Churchill and FDR were vandalized in London three weeks ago btw.

    I know where Sanger is buried (hint Albany), I am tempted to piss away, but my value system tells me its WRONG to desecrate.
