...this is some sort of complaint.....

Clean the bird droppings from the statue of Ashurbanipal at the Civic Center Plaza.
Anobel Khoushabeh
CA

The Assyrian community feels disrespected to see the statue of our greatest king in history covered with bird droppings. We ask the city of San Francisco to clean up the statue of Ashurbanipal, and continue maintaining it properly. At a time when our ancient artifacts are being demolished in Museums across Iraq, it is not okay to see our icons being disrespected here at home. This is a sensitive time for the Assyrian community, and we strongly urge the city of San Francisco to take action on this matter as soon as possible. It is an honor to have our heritage and history represented at the Civic Center Plaza, and for that we sincerely thank the city of San Francisco.

...I responded to their petition drive....but not the way they wanted...I reminded them that when we installed the statue we left a fund with the city to pay for two cleanings per year, and they have done their part. I suggested the Assyrian community put down their forks and chai and take soap and water and clean the statue of their "most famous king" themselves...but complaining, whining and signing petitions is the only "national work" left for them.
