MARTINEZ, Calif., Jan. 28 (UPI) -- A San Francisco-area man wants to change Mount Diablo to Mount Ronald Reagan, abandoning a century-old name he believes is "derogatory and profane."

The 3,849-foot mountain in Contra Costa County is one of the most prominent features in the San Francisco Bay area.

As I stated in the SF forum, Many in the area would probably agree that Reagan and Diablo are not unlike terms.

And the name change is never going to happen. He needs to get over it.

Anyway, Mt Diablo is the imposing mountain in the background of this picture.

Yes, let's honor the man responsible for closing mental hospitals and helping flood our cities with mentally ill homeless people.

Or not.
