I almost got into an argument the other day over the renaming, as they were claiming that the reason it was named 'Gulf of Mexico' was due to the coastline comparison and how the empire of Mexico was there first.

While I'm a little bit skeptical over the coastline argument, I almost wanted to start bringing up how the lady in question was defending a slave-based economy going back to the 1600s(or how it's a murderous narco-state in it's current incarnation), but in the end I just rolled my eyes and reminded myself I wasn't going to get into a historical/political argument over breakfast.

The entire conversation running up to it was just a depressing reminder of how much these people hate/dislike the country they live in. I can't fathom it.
