I dunno bout this whole thing with the post office in Texas. They wanna name it after some dude I never heard of. But hey, if it makes someone happy, then whatever. The big picture is that it probably won't affect me much anyways.

I don't think this is a good idea. It just doesn't seem right to me.

I can't believe this bill passed! Why are we spending taxpayer money on renaming a post office after one person? There are so many other important issues that need to be addressed, and this is what our politicians are focusing on? It's just not right...
