    Just saying, be consistent. If you are going to eliminate a name or monument for one, because s/he is racist, eliminate them all. Don't be a hypocrite.
    Without TR, the country would be entirely owned by about a dozen corporations today (*insert snarky comment from Kep here that it can't be much more than 13* )

    Without TR, there is no national park system.

    Without TR, we'd be eating ground rat turds labeled as beef.

    Without Calhoun, what positives does America miss out on?

      They were both racists. That's the bottom line. That's what the "cause" is, with the Calhoun (and other) folk. They are racist, therefore, no place in this new history. Erase them. So, come one/come all, IMO. Otherwise leave it alone.

      Edit: you're never "sorta" pregnant.

        OK fine, you don't get it. Stand there and be wrong in your wrongness.

          TR is just not the same thing. There are better examples I'm sure. Ramsey would be a good one...

          Why can't it just have both names? Does it really matter this much?

            Hey, you know, Hitler sorta united the country. He may be racist but he got people united! (Yes, I know of Godwin's Law, ignoring it to make a point).

            If one's point is to say eliminate the racist individuals, you cannot pick and choose. If the person is a racist, they are gone. If they aren't, they're good. Doesn't matter redemption. If you are using a base factor in these decisions, use them across the board.

              Hitler also murdered 6+ million people, so that's just about the worst analogy you could've drawn.

                I have said that, and Stalin was worse.

                I disagree with "Well, this guy was just racist, so eliminate his name" and then in the same breath "this guy was just as racist but he did some good things, so he's ok."

                Not in my book. I think it's BS.

                  It matters to a bunch of triggered white denizens of Edina, apparently.

                          Just call it the lake formerly known as Calhoun. This is Minnesota, after all.
