[quote=Anonymous]1. Governments can do, and do do, many things concurrently. Unless you think they only do one thing at a time and that this is keeping them from doing anything else, "Don't they have anything better to do?" is a dumb question.

2. If we need to have things that are named after people in order to remember them, are you worried that we're going to forget who Lee Harvey Oswald or John Wayne Gacy or Adolph Hitler are because in this country we don't name anything after these people? Or would you propose that we start sending kids to Hitler High?

3. Can you tell the very simple difference between "remembering" and "honoring"? Most of us can, so please don't insult us by offering an argument that supposes that we can't. We name things for people to honor them. We shouldn't name things after people who don't deserve our honor. It has nothing to do with whether we REMEMBER them or not--that should come from education, from reading and documentaries, from museums. I REMEMBER people who have treated me badly in my life. I'm not going to name my children after them.

4. Apparently "woke" means "Believing we shouldn't honor traitors and those who fought to preserve the right to enslave other people." Your use of it as a derogatory word implies that you believe we SHOULD honor traitors and people who fought to preserve the right to enslave others. Is that what you believe? If not, are YOU "woke"? Be sure you understand the implications of using a label before you use it.
