The audacity! Obama changes the name of Mt. Mckinley to Mt. Denali! Past is the past people!

It is about National pride. If whichever country that discovered Saturn all of a sudden had some bitch ass scientist tell them that it was nothing but a red dwart and the rings was its gravity ripping it apart , they would throw a fit. America had one planet, now they just have a rock that a satelite is currently taking lame pictures of.

32 years of my life went to calling Mt. Mckinley, our tallest mountain in America, that name. Now we are expected to just call it Denali? Why dont they just out of the blue change our measuring system to Metrics. Fuck Americans and what helps make them unique! They better learn that Metric bullshit! 30,000 feet in a Metric ton, and 5 Hectar's in a mile, etc.

@ bold -  None of this would happen, as no country can claim ownership of any celestial body outside of the Earth.

Back on topic, look around the world. Mumbai. Beijing. Zimbabwe. Two cities and a country I can think of off the top of my head that have been renamed, and people get used to it. *shrug*
