Re: GREAT P.R. Stunt, Google! Okay, if you want to talk about history, how about the fact that this town did change its name in 1998 to ToPikachu in honor of Pokemon. This isn't the first time that the community to Topeka has done this, and the mayor who did this was re-elected so clearly it didn't offend the citizens there enough to kick her out.
Every community is different in this regard. This is why we need to differentiate between national, state and local governments. If the state or federal government made a mandate that forced them to do something, I could understand the outrage, but SELF-governance isn't the same thing as BIG government. |

kudos:3 | Um... it's ALL "self governance"... be it local, state, or national... or did you not read the Constitution? "We the people" does hold a lot of meaning in this state.
Look, I'm not going to go into the science of how people get elected, nor do I feel this topic needs to continue of any further. But, just becuase someone gets re-elected doesn't mean that the people approved of every single thing a politician did... GW Bush anyone? Many people, even in his own isle, didn't approve of the job he did, but he got a second term..
So let's drop this now.. or, you're welcome to continue on.. with out me. |
