I don't think I am arguing the existence/validity/usefulness of memory. I just question the association of that with a physical object. That memory is very well "preserve" on facebook with the reconnection of people and various groups. Now that I think about it... the monuments are for those who don't have the first hand experience of the memory. They are taught to remember. May be monuments are there to not only preserve but also advocate? What's your thought on the shooting? Um… I don’t think I am arguing the existence/validity/usefulness of memory.

I don't remember how that name came about... and these days, those are consumables anyway... if you have enough money, you can buy your own... what's the value in that. I guess I went off on a tangent... may be today's monument is not the same as that of yesterday. Haha.
