    I can’t help but wonder if those Confederate statues were put there as a reminder to all those folk. I mean, it’s been just a few months since we started taking them down, and all of a sudden they think civil war is a good idea again.

      People deny history even when there are museums about it so I don’t think they were really doing anything

        When I was a kid, I loved dinosaurs. I rushed through the natural history museum to get to the dino bones because the other shit was boring. Then I had a roommate who was a young-earth creationist (believed the bible was literal history, earth was 5000 years old).

        I went through the museum the next year and stopped to read everything.
