I have never liked the idea things being named after politicians. It somehow reminds me of false idols. Every successive generation comes along and changes the names to glorify themselves.

My state has a habit of naming sections of highway for either politicians or highway patrolmen. Most, not doubt, are worthy of honor. However, it seems somewhat nepotistic or tribalistic. Have we no citizens of other professions and walks of life who are also worthy of honor?
