I don't know, it's a bit like mass murders, we should expunge their murderous names from all records. Sod them and their misery inflicting monuments.

- patientplatypus 7y agoWell... I think it's a bit more complicated than that. Sure, there were murderous tyrants, but there were also the ancient Sumerians who executed their kings at the moment of ahem coitus. Something about completing the circle between life and death or some such. They were a weird wacky bunch, and some of them were terrible, but I think it's a more complicated picture than you paint.

"Those who don't know history, are doomed to repeat it." It's important to understand who (by our standards) bad people were, why they were bad, and what circumstances enabled them to be bad. If you erase them, you can't learn from them.
