Humans carry a certain respect for fellow humans who perform acts of bravery. They save the lives of others. Most of these deeds of distinction occur during wartime, earthen disasters, or terrorists’ acts that threaten the safety of total strangers who inadvertently happen to be in an erroneous place at an inopportune time. On these rare instances, occasionally an unknown individual(s) steps up to a potentially disastrous situation and by shear luck, strength, and cool-headed thinking, takes a potential tragedy and turns it into a triumph. Sometimes, the hero lives, and on other occasions, that person will sacrifice their own lives for fellow humans. It is these individuals who get raised above the crowd, and appreciative people demand a statue or memorial for these selfless heroes. Statues are commissioned for war leaders that have taken ordinary men and motivated them to perform incredibly brave responses in order to secure a victory and send the enemy scurrying for their lives. Statues of George Washington adorn many US cities in parks everywhere. There are also bronze replicas of heroic soldiers in nearly every town square, paying honor to fallen comrades. Memorials are throughout Washington DC, commemorating soldiers of all our wars, and a large building honors those ordinary citizens who tried to take back Flight 93 in Stoystown, Pennsylvania. One of the more famous statues erected for incoming immigrants is the Statue of Liberty on Liberty Island in New York, N.Y.’s harbor. The easily identified, 305′ tall copper statue has stood there since 1886, welcoming new American citizens nearly every day. This country is so enthralled with statues that it has erected in all the American courts, a tribute to lying, crooked politicians and unethical and unscrupulous business leaders that allow them to propagate their destructive, greedy ways for nearly a lifetime. It’s called: THE STATU(T)E OF LIMITATIONS.
