The proposal comes from a Rep from Kanab, nuff said, so hopefully the rest of the state is sane.

I think he may have an idea. Both Trump & that collection of highways are loopy & unstable.

There is a strong local effort against it! Anyone of a similar mind please send texts to the people Eve suggests, I did!

Maybe someone will erect fast food restaurants at closely spaced intervals in his honour.

An amazingly brazen, cynical, malicious act....words fail me. Whenever I cross the border from Colorado to Utah on my way to Indian Creek I remark to my wife..."travel alert, entering enemy territory!"

Drive on the road.

Who gives a sh!t what the road is named.

It's a road .... and people drive on it.

You people are insane worrying about a road name.

When I become POTUS I will name a road "St00pid Americans" .....:-)

So true. Yesterday he proposed a rating system for violent movies. Way ahead of his time.

Don't worry - it's just a road sign - one that will be riddled with bullet holes within a few days. Fat white guy leaves yet another mark on the local landscape - whatever - Trump and company aren't the first.

Meh - lots of 3rd world indian reservations to see on that route, ranches, some mining and drilling - and yeah, what's left of the American West. Not much National Park though.

So true. Yesterday he proposed a rating system for violent movies. Way ahead of his time. So says Divad above. Another idiot.

so we should rely on the present movie rating system? How ridiculous. I took my kids to a Sponge Bob movie that was much more scary than funny.

In the 14 years since The Motion Picture Association of America created the NC-17 rating, only a handful of releases have been branded with it. But three more have popped up in the last three months. Has NC-17 finally come of age?
British producer Jeremy Thomas, for one, isn’t breaking out the bubbly. Responsible for two of the three — Bernardo Bertolucci’s The Dreamers, and Young Adam, starring Ewan McGregor and Tilda Swinton — he thinks the rating is bad news. ”NC-17 gives the film a smutty image,” he says, adding that the MPAA objected to a sex scene in which McGregor and Swinton are clothed. (Rather than editing the content like many filmmakers do, Thomas and Sony Pictures Classics appealed. They lost.)
Okay, so the no-children-allowed rating hasn’t had the greatest track record. Created in 1990 to replace the porn-tainted X, NC-17 came to be seen as box office poison, thanks to bombs like the campily erotic Showgirls. (The fact that some theaters refuse NC-17’s and Blockbuster doesn’t carry them hardly helps.) But even a warm, fuzzy G couldn’t have saved Paul Verhoeven’s pole dance. ”The first NC-17’s did not perform well, but not because of the rating,” says National Association of Theatre Owners president John Fithian. ”They just weren’t appealing to audiences.” The same might be said of the panned Dreamers, which has eked out $2.4 million since February. One insider even argues that the rating helped Bertolucci’s film by generating the sort of titillation no marketing budget can buy.
