Remember, reflect, rename: an editorial in support of San Francisco’s Proposition R

Posted by: Aqua Blog Maven on October 27, 2008 at 6:10 am

From the San Francisco Chronicle, this editorial in support of Proposition R:

Proposition R, which would rename the Oceanside Water Pollution Control Plant the George W. Bush Sewage Plant, may seem like a joke. However, the intent is to democratize the memorial process by remembering the outgoing administration in an appropriate manner, by insuring that the first public monument named after the 43rd president is not an airport, highway or school. The accomplishments of the Bush administration are numerous, from legalizing torture, to invading the wrong country, to the abandonment of New Orleans, to the near collapse of the world financial system. Incompetence so breathtaking in scope must be remembered so it does not happen again.

Renaming the sewage plant after George W. Bush will memorialize his administration in the proper historical context. And the city comptroller said fiscal impact is negligible.
