Just how much burden the Earth has to abide! I believe that if she could have yelled, she would certainly shout out very loud. What provoked me today? The example of the president of the Languedoc-Roussillon region and longtime experienced politician Georges Freche. What did this controversial person do now? He ordered the creation of a bronze statue of Vladimir Lenin in Montpellier! If you ask a normal human being why would one need a statue of a man that is long gone not only from the face of the earth, but from the ideals that the world might use, I believe everyone would answer that there is no one good reason for that. If 20 years ago the eastern world tore the s! tatues of this man as a symbolic way of finishing with the communism, than what on Earth this man wants now? As asked, Freche explains that he wanted to immortalize his heroes. So, not only Lenin, he ordered statues of Winston Churchill, Charles de Gaulle, Franklin Roosevelt and Jean Jaures. "Lenin was no blood-thirsty dictator. He shaped the world in the twentieth century" - said Freche. The "artistic" glutton is not going to be satisfied only with these five statues. For the next year he plans to make immortal former South African President Nelson Mandela and Chinese communist leader Mao Zedong, as well as three more. "We could have had a vote for the people of Montpellier to decide who are their 'great men. Instead we got Freche's latest dictate. It's the ultimate sign of megalomania from a man who probably wants a statue of himself one day." - said Jacques Domergue, a local deputy for Nicolas Sarkozy's party. I hope that there will be ratios people that are not g! oing to allow this man create a living cemetery out of their t! own. < br>
