I would think that if you take exception with something that old, it is likely too late to do anything about it. I think we all just have to be aware of insensitive or negative things from this point on.

You wrote,[...these are too old to address now...too late to do anything about it...from this point on...]
I am unsure as to what you are wanting to mean by the above. If you could clarify the following, then I could respond accordingly.
A.What criteria did you use to determine that the time period is too old to address now?
B. If there was a billboard that had a statement on it that was 4 years old that had the potential to arrouse ill-will toward a group of people,and a citizen requested to the mayor to have it taken down, what could be a reason, in your opinon, if there could be one, for the mayor to refuse to take it down?
C. If the mayor refused to take it down and then the citizen requested that the mayor attach a sign next to it that what is posted on the billboard is not in the best interest of the community and does not reflect the accepted attitutes of the charter for the city that are expected from it's citizens in relation that the charter prohibits the posting of statements of that nature, what in your opinion could be a reason, if there is one, for the mayor to refuse to post that next to the statement in question?
