Can this country stop being so damned politically correct? Ever? It'll be the ruin of us all.

Isn't CANARSIE an Indian name? Should we have to change the name of our town? If at first we were called "The Canarsie Thunder", would we be called inconsiderate for not honoring the Indians? Am I no longer allowed to call myself a former "Canarsien"? Or shall I be called a former "land that used to be swamp and Indian owned-IAN"? It's really ridiculous. I say let it be, you can't possibly make everyone happy all of that time. By the way, my Great Grandmother is Native American and my Grandfather grew up on what is now 94th street. From the family stories I was told, the Indians were happy that they made money off the land and were able to live prosperious lives.
Next we will hear that the word "thunder" is slanderous to Mother Nature!
