    rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.

    To be fair, the city was named after George, not the other way around. Similarly, most Franklins, Jeffersons and Lincolns were named after the people.

    OTOH, there's Michael York, Indiana Jones and Melissa Manchester.

    Before you can do things for people, you must be the kind of man who can get things done. But to get things done, you must love the doing, not the people!
