You agree with me that the only good reason to change a name is because there is something wrong with that name.
By George I think he's got it. The name was wrong because there was already a name and it was a better name by a country mile.
Look it isn't like McKinley had his heart set on having a mountain named after him. McKinley wasn't a particular lover of nature and preferred to stay at home reading poetry, so I think that he would have been prouder to have the University of Ohio's law school after him rather than a barren mountain that 99.9% of the American public would will never see and another 75% who really don't care.

So sez you.
Even before Alaska become it state, it was named McKinley.
Even before you were born, it was named McKinley.
Don't like it?
Too bad.
There's nothing wrong with the name McKinley.
President Trump will overturn Obama's racist attack against a great American president.

How do you know?
You don't.

And poetry has nothing to do with an interest in nature.
I see that I'm dealing with a really well-educated person here...

Everyone has an opinion, and you know what they say about opinions....
If it's that big of a deal to Alaskans (and, apparently, to our so-called "president"), then why not have both names on it? Mt McKinley at Denali Heights, perhaps? Mt McKinley-Denali? Mt Denali-McKinley? Something has to give here (if it must).

Something did give. It went back to it's original name. And of course it's a big deal to alaskans since this is their state.
It's only the liberal Alaskans (or fake ones) they we're hearing from here.
Anyway, President Trump will change the name back when he takes office.
