Those who spend time on the internet know what an argumentative bunch we humans are. If you want that knowledge reinforced, you might like to look at this feature on the World's Most Controversial Monuments. When I first spotted it, I thought maybe there'd be six of them; or 10. But, no, there are 27. They range across Christ (6) and Che Guevara (8); the Beatles (9), Princess Diana (11) and ties (20) - yes ties; Lady Peace (24), Queen Victoria (26) and Eva Perón (28). OK, so the monuments are all symbols and carry meanings, just like words. Argue, argue, argue.
