    Burying and hiding history does not change history. It is history for a reason. I had a Golliwog, as did many kids my age. It did not mean we were racists.

    What's in a Name? The Surname Controversy Everyone is Arguing About - Get the Scoop!

    A more important question for me is how do you get your surname back. My first wife chose to take my surname but kept it when she left me for someone else. Even when I divorced her she kept my name and 34 years later, she still has it. Why is this an issue you may ask. Well because my second...
