Good grief! People find the damnedest things to fight over.

I’m a 7th generation Texan—and I can’t imagine wanting Santa Anna’s artificial leg for a museum.

I must be missing something here..

People from Texas tried to dig up Moses Austin’s grave in Potosi MO to take back to Texas, but were stopped. A concrete cap was poured over the grave site to prevent it from happening again.

Agree.

There is just something about people that don’t really work for a living or actually produce anything.

Someone at the San Jacinto Battlefield Museum thought it would be a cool thing to have, I guess. But it has no context for the battle of Texas independence. I wonder how many signatures that petition got? They only say it didn’t get the minimum 100,000 required. I’d be surprised if it got 1,000.

I agree, I am as much of a Texan as you are and we kicked his butt and don’t need his leg.
