And I suppose they will rename that popular in-shell nut something like "Brazil nut".
To: berserker

Hey, perhaps they will just eliminate NC altogether?
To: berserker
I saw this on the N&O webpage this morning... I wanted to post it but wasn't quite too sure what to make of it and was lost when trying to come up with a witty retort.
Interesting...

I'm sure somebody will come along and find some distardly connotation to attach to the word "Carolina." After all, we DID have slaves here.

Wait 'til they find out about Darkville, MO.
To: berserker
I never knew about those names. Interesting. Wonder what the history is behind them? But I am glad that the legilature has nothing like a billion dollar defficite to worry about so that they can address things like this.
(Is "Blowing Rock" still OK, or does that offend the gays?)

The next target needs to be all of these cities with Christian names. How can we have a separation of church and state and still have all of these cities with Christian names? We need to use numbers to replace these names. For example, San Francisco can be renamed City #54, San Antonio.. #47, and we can just forget about Sacramento.
Has anyone considered how humiliating and offending it must be for little Muslim or Jewish children to live in some city named for some Catholic saint?
Actually many other cities are named after some dead white guy, like Washington or Lincoln. This, no doubt, intimidates women and people of color. We should rename all of our cities using just numbers. This would avoid offending anyone and make it easier for GIS programmers.

Or "Floyd's Knob", Indiana, or Sugar Tit, Kentucky, or Blue Ball Kentucky...perhaps we should do away with Kentucky, since its postal abbreviation is "KY" as in jelly, as in homosexual agenda, etc? /tin foil hat off
To: duckman
How about Honkeyville NC?Or maybe Crackerville?

Well my town is called Waxhaw. Its named after the indians that USED to live there. I might want a name change too. Make it Andrew Jackson town he grew up in North Carolina you know.

Argh!
I guess this means that Chunky Gal Mountain will have to be renamed, too.
Those fat broads tend to be a little sensitive. :)
