Take his name off? Why not? Has he not offended enough people. Continue to praise him and offend many others

In the spirit of logrolling, I’ll vote to dump Hoover’s name from the FBI building if you’ll vote to dump Jackson from the money and replace him with Henry Clay (or really, anyone else Jackson disliked).

I agree with jimbino — Hoover’s name on the building reminds us of the role that quasi-secret police have in our society.

As Tom Lehrer noted: “Political satire became obsolete when Henry Kissinger was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.” I say, keep Hoover’s name on the building so that future historians will have no doubt about the decadence of our American political system, just as they now have no doubt about the legacy of Ozymandias.
