A warning from George Orwell on the ‘monument wars’

It was written about by George Orwell in his dystopian novel “1984,” a quote from which is making the rounds this week. In it, one of Orwell’s characters warns of how “every book has been rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, every date has been altered.”

“And that process is continuing day by day and minute by minute,” adds Orwell’s character. “History has stopped.”

B,

There was a program on cspan today where people called in and gave their views on the statues. A lot of them said put them in a museum. Some people wanted Stone Mountain to come down. If they're going to start moving stuff, why not make Stone Mountain the museum and move stuff there? Seems to me its the locals that need to decide what to do in their towns.

Someone on that program said the SPLC made a list of all the confederate monuments last year. They've been planning . . . They need to stop using that group as an authoritative source. They're bad news.
