What should San Diego do with the Pete Wilson statue?


What should San Diego do with the Pete Wilson statue?

I suggest that we look to the English for some guidance. They have centuries of experience with this sort of thing. For example, the one-armed English naval hero Lord Nelson was rewarded for winning the battle of Trafalgar by having his statue erected in cities all over the British Empire (see photo above).

Since fans of Pete Wilson are worried about possible vandalism of the statue, I suggest mounting Pete on a tall column, where he will be above the fray. Also, I like the English idea of putting the column in the center median of a busy street, protected by the traffic whizzing past both day and night.
