    Monument Bet

    Just wanted to have this in its own thread

    Strug bets Julio that a monument of our founding fathers will be removed or substantially altered by March 1, 2019.

    Terms: If Sturg wins, Julio must watch 2 hours of Ron Paul clips of Sturg's choice

    If Julio wins, Sturg must leave the politics board for a year

    I know the applause in the echo chamber must be extremely loud ... but damn.

    Do you think Ohio should have had more say in the name than Alaska itself? I know the temptation to burn 57 in your respective echo chamber is pretty high, but damn if you didn't single out what's less a controversy or "incident" and more an example of petty Ohio legislators employing procedural tricks to maintain the memory of a native son.

    57 said the change was "roundly applauded" - that's simply inaccurate.

    My personal opinion here isn't relevant, but since you asked, no, I don't think Ohio should have had 'more say' than Alaska, but that's not the issue. The controversy here is/was the federal proclamation.
