I said much the same thing on another thread. The Governor of the State of Texas can’t ask his landlord to remove a rock? According to reports, the last time he used the place was sometime in ‘06 or ‘07 when he was Governor. How hard could that have been?
Of course, there are some people who would have refused to have anything to do with a place called by that deeply offensive name.
It was 30 years ago, Miss M. He wasn’t governor then. He (or, I’m told, his father) painted over it, and turned the rock over. They did the right thing.
It’s not his ranch, it’s just a place where they hunt. We lease our place out for hunting sometimes, and at least as far as we’re concerned, they have NO rights to touch anything here other than hunting. They can’t take down our fences, they can’t change the sign at the gate, they can’t mess with the crops. They can hunt, period.
With all due respect, you remind me of when PETA came to one our nearby towns, and at first demanded, then tried to pay, to have the town’s name of Slaughterville changed. The name of the place where the Perry family hunted HAS been changed. Why should they leave it? Should we abandon the Grand Teton Park, let someone else have it, because of it’s name? You do know what a Teton is, don’t you? ;)
Of course, he also could (and did) take care of it himself. Painted the rock and flipped it over.
You seem to want him to leave a problem like that for someone else to fix.
I don’t like people that, when they see a problem, leave it for others to fix. That really sticks in my craw.
