False Idol, return it to it's owner or get rid of it.
All statues and stuff like that are false idols
such as the bull on the stock market.
Funny thing is there is no liberty or justice around here.
But that is ok, we do the best we can.

The Statue of Liberty transcends just being a gift from France. It is a symbol of liberty throughout the world, especially to the immigrants who came by boat and were greeted by her shining countenance shortly before being deloused on Ellis Island.
The reason we should keep it is because immigrants don't know or care that France created it; which really must get France's cheese-eating panties in a bunch.

The Statue of Liberty is based on Marianne, the symbol of liberty during the French revolution. Who Marianne was based on is in dispute, but it wasn't a prostitute.

My daughter just did a project on the Statue of LIberty. She found the model to be the mother...and rumor had it the mistress of the sculptor. No, we shouldn't give it back.

It is a symbol of American opportunity and freedom. Regardless of who it is modeled on by the designer, that is the meaning it has come to have for us.
We should never give it back.

It's modelled after the designer's mother

You should demolish it as it no longer stands as a symbol of America.

I think it was modeled after the artists daughter. If I remember correctly. And no, we keep it. Stop being an @ss.
