10/3/2011 NY Times Comment #106 - The name long predated Perry's membership. It was folk-historic; you can't rewrite history. He didn't name it and it was changed. He doesn't own the camp.
OK. He didn't name it. The name long pre-dated his membership. OK.
Would you rent a leisure property named Niggerhead? Jewhead? Faghead? Spic-head? I wouldn't. Nope. No way, no how. Even if I could someday 'paint over' the name. Nope. Wouldn't want to either be associated with that in any way, nor pay money to anyone who did.
Maybe if it were the only possible way for me to have a roof over my head. But for 1,000 acres of hunting land?
Sorry. Not important enough a deal. And I don't consider myself nearly 'squeaky clean' enough to run for President.
