We have people out of work and living on the streets wondering where their next meal is coming from. What the heck do I care what they call a waterfall in Venezuela.

You are SO right, Bill. I think maybe people get caught up in the issues in other countries to take their minds off the problems in this country, if only for the few moments they are visiting a website such as this.

It still puzzles me, though, why Americans think they/we have the right to name something in another country whatever WE want it called and think the rest of the world, including that particular country, should go along with it.

I wonder what the French called the Statue of Liberty before they gave her to us? I seriously doubt it was the "Statue of Liberty."
