Now that the election is over I think we should get down to serious business...renaming Delaware.

Delaware gets its name from Thomas West, 3rd Baron of De la Warr. As a veteran of English campaigns against the Irish, De La Warr employed "Irish tactics" against the Indians: troops raided villages, burned houses, torched cornfields, and stole provisions.

It is not right to name Delaware after some nobleman killer of Irish and Indians.

Why not call the State IndianKillerLand?

So if you have a comment or a suggested name...chime in. I'll put them all together and we can get President Obama to make it all good.

Suggested Name: In indian "Gadohistisqilivania"...from "ga-do-hi u-s-ti so-qui-li" or "Land of Little Horses" (Little state needs little horses)
