the thing i cannot stand with many in this great country of ours is that being politically correct has become so important. changing a name b/c it could offend people is dumb. this notion that we as a culture need to try to please everyone and not do anything to offend others has gone too far and is just quite sad. im not saying people should go out of there way to offend, thats just wrong, but if its a part of our history then it needs to be recognized. this is just like the story i saw on the oreilly factor that a nyc counilman wants to take down pictures of thomas jefferson in city hall b/c he was a slave owner and b/c of that, those pictures could be offending to some. you know what, he may have owned slaves and thats not a good thing, but he still did a lot for this country and should be recognized for that as well. bottom line, all this politically correct b.s. needs to end. and thats my little rant for the day
