Quite right. Apparently a number of people do care. Though I obviously do not. Not relative to the other on-going issues In this town that I mentioned in my original post. That is where I want to see the time, effort, and financial resources of the City organization, and focus of the community directed. Not getting embroiled in a debate about renaming something that already has a name and that people are welcome to call anything they like - Broadway Plaza, Kesey Square, Center City Place, etc. 
Our parks are under funded. Homelessness is just getting worse. We are not keeping up with our roads. We need more law enforcement to combat illegal drugs, gangs, and crime. And who knows when, where, and how much a new City Hall is going to cost. These are physical, tangible issues that affect people's lives in a physical, tangible way. 
PS  I like Ken Kesey. Great author and colorful personality. Don't have a problem whatsoever about who he was. Make a GD decision and get on with it.
