Rename Mount Diablo?
I sure hope not. I hate renaming things that got saddled with bothersome monikers.
Here’s the rationale:
“Words have power, and when you start mentioning words that come from the dark side, evil thrives,” Mijares told the Contra Costa Times. “When I take boys camping on the mountain, I don’t even like to say its name. I have to explain what the name means. Why should we have a main feature of our community that celebrates the devil?”
Celebrates?
Sigh.
