Squaw Squaw Squawking
Mon February 24th, 2003 22:26 MSTI guess a few idiotarians have something more important on their minds than the upcoming war: eliminating the word squaw.
Yep… that’s right! Arizona House Bill 2424 would prevent the word “squaw” from being used to name any landmark, street, highway, historical site, park, recreation area or other publicly funded facilities.
So the historic Squaw Peak, 2 miles from this blogger’s home, will have to get a new name. Phoenix’s most popular park, Squaw Peak Park will have to be renamed. The Squaw Peak Parkway will be renamed, changing all of its signs. My Civil Air Patrol radio, programmed with the name of the Squaw Peak repeater, will have to be reprogrammed. And, with more than 1,000 sites around the country that include the word “squaw,” “it’s an issue that is not going to go away” according to one of the PC Police.
WATCH OUT: They’re headed your way next!
Let me know if you like my idea.
“Science makes godlike — it is all over with priests and gods when man becomes
scientific. Moral: science is the forbidden as such — it alone is
forbidden. Science is the *first* sin, the *original* sin. *This alone is
morality.* “Thou shalt not know” — the rest follows.”
– Friedrich Nietzsche
