    I never thought much of the Duke. Sorry for those of you with an emotional connection. Clint Eastwood is 10x the cowboy badass without even trying. When he tried, and made gems like Josey, Pale and Drifter, he was in a class by himself.

    Clint could have made any movie Wayne did, and do it better. Wayne could not have carried the movies Eastwood was in.

    So, IDRGAF what they name the airport, Wayne made some pretty racist comments even for the day, so he's not the hill I'm going to die on either. Although I agree this trend is troubling and I see no end it sight.

    What shall we do with the Jefferson Memorial when they come for it?

    I like both and they have different qualities. JW is an American icon and one of the all time biggest box office draws.

    Love Clint's stuff too. Unforgiven is a favorite of mine. But the spaghetti westerns not so much. The surrounding actors made them hard to watch for me even though I'm half Dago.

    Lot's of people said shit 50 years ago. Are they going to hang them all now? The people bitching are out looting, killing and burning but I guess that's OK it's hate violence not hate speech. Hate speech is obviously much more violent.

    I really like Unforgiven too. He and Gene Hackman in the same cowboy movie is almost too much good shit. They're both mean motherfuckers. Love that movie. Severely underrated because of reverse recency bias.

    when they come for Jefferson just change the name to George Jefferson. Worked here in MLKing County.
    Not many know it but the state was named after George Washington carver. last name in very small lower case
