- Jeez, what is this - some kinda nation-wide conspiracy or something?
- Here, we have a city councilman getting his knickers in a knot over renaming
- the Squaw Peak Parkway*, and some other anonymous idiot wants the carvings
- removed from our new airport terminal as he says they promote the Klan!
- (carving pattern - repetitive |<+>|<+>|<+>|<+>|<+>|<+>| ) Boy, if he ever
- gets downtown and sees the [native american] swastikas in some of the buildings
- down there he'll infarct!

- *Last time anything got renamed in this state was when the mountain range
- north of Yuma was changed to the Kofas, after the "King of Arizona" mine...I
- still think that the "Shithouse Mountains" has a nice ring to it!
