no one gives a frick about Robert E. Lee's name?
Give me your conclusion on this...because a name is an identifier as an image (or statue) is an identifier, is it not?
If a person's name were 'Robert E. Lee Smith', for example, what do ya figure the first thing comes to mind is, huh?
Let's hear the argument.
The funny thing is "E. Lee" is my first/middle names irl
I don't think anyone GAF about my name, either

quote:Whatever message a statue specifically dedicated to a a person and his or her life has, the linkage between your name and that message is undoubtedly much weaker, and likely unnoticeable to most people unless told in some way.
Further, is that message passed through the medium of sculpture representative of a particular person's identity, thus linking that particular person to the specific message?
