This name changing is madness...and the brakes need to be put on this

if not our world will become pure vanilla (oops...that may have to change too)

I wonder how much it will cost to change all the street signs when "Dixie Hwy" gets renamed to something else... not to mention the cost of reprinting the stationary for all those businesses on that road

how many school districts will decide to change the names of schools

how many more communities will be asked to vote on changing the names of their city/town

how many people with the last names, Lee, Jefferson, Davis, Grant, Lincoln will change their names....we're going to have a lot more "Smiths" and "Jones" in the phone book (if we even continue to have phone books)

will the US paper and coin currency be recalled and reissued with different faces on them

will certain books be banned from the traditional summer reading list
