The Minnesota Compromise

Don't like the idea of the Reagan Memorial Highway? How does Lake Reagan grab ya?

In the spirit of compromise, however, I have decided that perhaps we should choose another landmark that we can all agree could be better named: Lake Calhoun, named after the famously pro-slavery Sen. John C. Calhoun. I think we can all agree that Reagan's contribution to our history is more significant and worthier of honor than that of a South Carolina senator who died in 1850, before Minnesota even became a state.

Lake Reagan: It has a nice ring to it.


Indeed it does.
