Not really, as I pointed out. Oh, that's right, you didn't bother to read
it.

 GJD> They thought kindly of him because of his accomishments that he has

 GJD> greatness of that individual such as the Alfred E. Smith building,
 GJD> in Albany, New York.

Many cities re-named Main St to Martin Luther King Jr too, but it's still
Main St on the business signs and phone book.

 GJD> Erastus Corning 2nd, the building's namesake, was the mayor of
 GJD> Albany for an unprecedented 41 years from 1942 to 1983.

So was Richard J Daly, but he wasn't the most honest person to hold that
office. A crook in fact.

 GJD> The tower was dedicated to him in 1983. Before that dedication, it
 GJD> was known as the "Tower Building". From 2000 to 2004, the Corning
 GJD> Tower was the tallest structure in the World Almanac's list of
 GJD> "Other Tall Buildings in North American Cities."

Which doesn't make them any different, nor were the people who the
buildings were re-named after, Presidents.

 GJD> That is the same purpose in momuments and statues.

BS, there's a statue of BA in downtown Baltimore, MD.

 GJD>  For all things good and pure and of liberty that is the reason why
 GJD> the Statue of Liberty in NYC means so much to so many people.

To me, it's just a big statue that means very little, since it's of French
origin.

 RW>> So, you're saying that LBJ

 GJD> No I was not the one who mentioned LBJ, your Buddy Frank was the one
 GJD> who mentioned LBJ.

Yeah, but you were the one who said LBJ was a great President and innocent
of everything people have charged him with here.
