sunset on my beard

Never noticed that there's a statue of Abraham Lincoln in Calton Burial Park before. I believe the memorial beneath said something about remembering the people from here who died somewhere else at the hands of the people who belonged in that particular somewhere else and were trying to stay there. It worries me to think that in a couple of hundred years' time there might be a memorial erected to the people needlessy killed somewhere they shouldn't have been in the first place topped with a statue of Dubya.
