Here’s one great difference to be aware of: the Lenin statues in Ukraine and Eastern Europe were forced on the citizens of those countries. In Seattle, citizens themselves chose to have Lenin, the godfather of 120 million murders by communists, commemorated. Mourn the voluntary slavery.

The Lenin statue in Freemont, Seattle was bought by an American business man over in the former Soviet Union. His idea was some sort of American Victory park, but he ran out of money.

But whenever I HAVE to go to Fremont and drive by it, I always view it that here this statue that has to stare at the Capitalistic offices and stores surrounding it. And suffer the indignation of rainbow colored gay hats on gay pride days, a star and ornaments at Christmas, a Jewish star, and other trappings of Liberal Seattle that use it as a platform of “art”. (Oh, I did see one image on google that had a sign around it's neck, said something “In spite of 100,000,000 dead due to Communism, it is worth a second chance!”

The statue in itself becomes my own little “Victory Park.”

(”Heh. Take THAT Mr. Lenin!”)
