I've never understood the value of statues. the Romans seem to have started the impulse to deify political leaders. crikey the UK has a statue of Maggie Thatcher fgs...... why?

sure its good to remember the great and good; those that have served humanity with good works. Mother Theresa, Mahatma Gandhi and even Henry Lawson are worthy of such monuments..... but politicians? most should be forgotten by history.
