If you had your druthers would you have these removed or just ban any others from being erected in the future?

Those monuments were erected after the fact, based on accomplishment.
Not POTENTIAL accomplishment. Think of Obama's Nobel prize.

I'd have to ponder over that but I'm sure I'd support a retroactive ban on roads, bldgs, etc being named after pols or any other person.

Based on real accomplishments or potential ones?

You throw exploding lemons at girls and you bitch about a steak being a tad well done?!

Allegra is a pretty tough girl. She likes the exploding lemons.
I didn't bring up the overdone steaks until you set up Eaker
as a role model, I was merely pointing out one of his faults.

To his credit, however, EVERYONE but me overcooks the steaks.

I like 'Bluegrass Pkwy' I despise 'Robert Byrd or Ronald Reagan Expressway'.

I prefer rock mountains to remain just that.

Tough or not no lady deserves to be assaulted with exploding fruit. What if a seed was propelled into her eye??

You might be in denial in regard to Eaker's uplifting influence on you. Even I can see, by the interchanges here, how he tries to keep you on the straight and narrow.

I do like the way you cook steaks, humblegunner. I practically have to chase it to keep it from fleeing off the plate. Mmmmmmmmmmmm.....
