Comments
Personally, I'm always interested in studying people, places and civilizations of today and the past. Although a statue of Vladimir Lenin, etc, located in a public plaza (for example, in LA) would give me the chills, I also remember the phrase, "Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it."
