Don't even think of changing the name of the FBI Building -now
named after J. Edgar Hoover. If you do, the ghost of J. Edgar will
haunt it forever. If thy guy made it to Heaven, we must assume that
he is doing up there what he did best down here, keeping records
of people " of interest " who he knew in his All-American heart
were dirty,rotten, scoundrels.
More seriously I resent this RECONSTRUCTION and DECONSTRUCTION
of history -and I am way out on the political left. The present
generation has no CIVIL RIGHT to arrogantly erase the judgment
of the Greatest Generation -or any past generation.
Our "political correctness " has its good points, but it
may well be ridiculed by future , more sagacious TV journalists.
We cannot just change the names of buildings and places
in accordance with ephemeral public opinion.
A newly discovered ancient manuscript might reveal
the historical authenticity of Romulus - founder of Rome.
Should THE CITY be named after a guy who killed his own
brother ? And whose mother was just an Etruscan whore
nicknamed the " She-Wolf " ?
JFK was a playboy. So rename Kennedy Plaza in Providence,
Rhode Island after the present House Speaker, John Harwood -
who will soon be vindicated , I am sure.
Only J. Edgar knows for sure. He's STILL making a
list, checking it twice, gonna find out who's naughty or
nice !
