How about naming streets after the people that served as the First Commission of Deltona? Masiarczyk, Foss, Carey, Gardner, Perez, and Carbonell. They are just as deserving of that honor.

To: Is there never an end

Please list in detail what rights you have lost since

Obama was elected..

Who has the most streets named after them?

Try Washington (4,974)

There must be a whole lot of old white guys wearing

white wigs running around, or it is a whole lot of farm

country?

Logically speaking if we followed the reasoning on some

of these posts, if we name a road after MLK, then only

people associated with him or like him(deeply religious

peaceful man) would be living on that road.

So if we named a road after Princeton, can only people

who attend Princeton University live on that road?

Or if we named a road after Reagan, can only rich, old

white guys suffering from alzheimer's live on that road?

Apparently, the idea some have presented is that if we

name a road after MLK only black,poor, criminals would

like there, I would suspect perhaps that would be the

case if the road was named Willie Horton..

During Reagan's admin, the education system was changed,

it was changed in order to Dump Down America, there is a

book written about it from a lady who served in

Reagan's education dept..Faux News is carrying on the

tradition.. Millions of people in this country should be

pissed off and suing Fox, for deliberately misinforming them on so much..

@ Mike,

It is one thing to disagree with Obama's politics it's a whole another thing to advocate the man's death.. You do understand that the SS has or will read what you wrote, especially since I will be reporting you..

Signed, Tolerant for just about anything but hate..

MLK once said to hold no hate, love conquers the world.

Love is lacking in many of these posts, I suspect in many of their lives as well..

Who ever votes for this MLK BLVD # 907,556,234,728,345,679 down at town hall, here's a message for you,. Next election, you will be gone. Replaced by the very people that you are trying so hard NOT to offend. Lets face it, you don't give a rats @$$ about the opinions of the rest of us. We all gave up OUR rights in the last presidential election. Well, you are about to give up YOUR rights in the next county/city election. By the way, Has ANYONE EVER counted how many MLK Blvds there are? I vote we number them and put the numbers on the street signs. The **** just keeps going ON & ON & ON & ON. When do'es it end? If an Islamic group wanted to name a street after Mohammed, What would you say? It's comming folks. Because the ones that are embracing Islam are ALSO the ones that want MLK BLVD !!!!! Maybe we can get a shopping center to locate at the corner of Mohammed Ave and MLK Blvd. Security firms would LOVE it !!! I prefer Nixon Avenue myself, He never did anything that all the rest of them just didn't get caught at. Who's YOUR hero? Let's all just petition to the City/County to have a street named after OUR favorite person. Ask and you shall receive IF you are a MINORITY. Name one after yourselves too. Most of you are legends in your own minds.

DR.MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. BLVD IS TOO LONG. HOW ABOUT KING BLVD? HOW ABOUT FORGETTING ABOUT THE WHOLE THING?

HOW ABOUT NAMING A STREET AFTER PARSON BROWN.

TWO IS PLENTY. N.Y.C, A CITY OF OVER 8 MILLION PEOPLE HAS 3 STREETS NAMED AFTER KING.

Some of the postings are truly fascinating. Disturbing on many levels but fascinating all the same!

Enough Already, How much more? It seems that every group, whether it be nationality, sexual, or religuos competes to dominate societies bureacrities for there interest.

Why don't you name it Lincoln blvd. That man did more for the blacks than any black man did for themselves. He gave them their freedom. Why isn't his birthday a national holiday. Enough is enough ! Stop tagging every city with this name.

MLK's people have done him well. LOL, I'm sure he would be amazed at what most cities look like around MLK Blvd or St or Dr. He would be honored, their have been more crack deals on MLK than any other street in America. How about Jefferson Davis Blvd, or Confederate street? That would be racist Huh?????

Deltona is rapidly turning into a ghetto, anywhere you place the MLK blvd will be adequate.

Good God. Listen to you people.

The "MLK Blvd is always located in the ghetto" comments are from a tired, old Chris Rock bit. Time to get some new material.

And MLK Blvd in Deland is hardly a "ghetto."

I along with a millions of americans are tired of kissing the black man's ***! We are tired of the Jesse Jacksons, the Al Sharptons, the Apollo, Acorn, the NAACP, the black police associations and ALL the "African" whatever comes after. Enough is Enough. I was not raied a racist and am not a racist, but let me tell you, I am starting to think that way. You have your "African American" president. Leave the local roads named as they are.

ENOUGH ALREADY ! Do we really have to be THAT politically correct ????

It doesn't matter who MLK was when he was alive, today his name on a street is associated with racially segregated neighborhoods. MLK has no history or connection with Deltona. To change one our main boulevard's to his name makes no sense unless there is a racial motivation. We don't need any divisive memorials to racial unrest. That is ancient history and Deltona is a new city.

Did he have a DIRECT impact in any of these areas = NO! So why should his name be on one of the streets. This is completely ridiculous and absurd. Why don't we change every street to honor someone that had an impact in this country. Leave the street names alone. It is hard enough finding your way around this city and all this will do is add confusion.

this is crazy. yes, he was a great man and did great things, but so did so many other people! if we rename one street, we should rename all the others to great people's names! there are so many other people who have fought for goodness and what's right..

If you want a street named for MLK--fine. But get your Own,perhaps a New road.

Why force YOUR wants on others to go through the mess of changing Their addresses or anythingelse for You!!.

Well this is very interesting. Isn't the closest street with MLK's name is in Deland/Cassadaga? MLK Beltway/Kepler. It intersects with Howland/472. Why does this area need another street named after MLK? Deltona is a stones throw away from MLK Beltway- enough is enough. If you want to name a road, then name it in honor of Harriet Tubman or Rosa Parks. There are so many other civil rights Americans who are equally or more deserving that MKL.

Poster FAN has got this one covered perfectly. Let me take the time and space to echo his / her comments:

"enough is enough,every town does not need a street named after this man.the road that runs from Deland to Orange city is close enough.To change the name of a main street here is selfish and ill advised. Why should all the people that live on this street have to change their addresses and why should we all be stuck with the costs that come with the changing of a street name.If you want to change a name of a street,change the name of one of the many un named alley's that are in town. this would be of little cost and little problems for anyone."

Oh! PLEASE--not another street named after him. How about Lincoln or Reagan. Why must it be ANOTHER mlk.street??? Give me a break.

I know who Dr. King is, but do we really need a street named after him in every city? Especially a major thoroughfare. This shows no consideration for the folks who live or run a business on these streets.

We aren't a real city until we have 4 streets named after Martin Luther King Jr. Don't need a police department or anything...

http://www.worldaffairsbrief.com/keytopics/MLK.shtml

I cannot believe the comets of read already. Do you know who Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was? A selfless man who made it his mission to make sure all men and women, regardless of the color of the skin, have equal rights. This endeavor covered everyone and at the time all people of different skin color joined Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. vision. This does not invite ghettoness or a downhill of a community as some have already stated, but an acknowledgement that Deltona, as a city, appreciates the hard task of making a change for the better for all people.

I would have to move if a street near me was renamed. MLK means bad neighborhood. Look at any town with a street by that name. You usually avoid that area.

No WAY! Setting up an MLK Blvd is urban code for "this town has a black ghetto". We don't want to attract the ghetto element or set up racially assigned neighborhoods here in this our sleepy suburban town.

Urban ghetto's attract people who don't mix in and join the local family friendly culture, they divide neighborhoods and scare away the middle class and working class families and only the poor and the criminal element are left.

Deltona has no business or industry to speak of, so ending the signal that we are encouraging ghetto culture here would send this town into a sharp decline.

Deltona is a Mackle Brothers development, they named these roads, and we are proud of what they gave us. If the stupid city government moves ahead with this or any other stupid racially motivated renaming idea, we will organize a neighborhood cessation from the City of Deltona.

Tell these people to go ruin somebody-else's town!
