Walter Celley is a stone carver at Rock of Ages working on a slate that in May will be added to Arnold's crypt in an English churchyard. How does Celley feel about working on a memorial to an American turncoat?

With any luck Mr. Celley will be available to do the marker for Jim Jeffords grave when the time comes.

Does anyone know why he turned traitor?

The monument is in England, so there is no legal violation involved.

Well, my Green Mountain Boys ancestors are spinning...

Your point seems completely absurd in the context of this matter. You perhaps want to e-mail the Founding Fathers and have them correct their misguided bellyaching about George III in the Declaration of Independence? Sure, the American and French revolutions were actually reactions to the underlying bureaucratic arrangements in the allocation of resources and distribution of rewards. I'll bet you're on solid ground . . . in the fussbudget reductionist club. In any case, it is deplorable that any American should contribute 15K to the memory of Arnold even if he was demented enough to think he was merely supporting Lord North and some MP's and not acting against the best political development in human history.
