the analogy is faulty. the tongue is merely an instrument of the mind for speaking (among other functions). a valve can allow salt or fresh water to flow, but is under a person's control.
similarly, the mind can produce both good and evil (and other) thoughts at the same time - this is the nature of humankind. we always have a choice of which thoughts to speak at the time we do it. each of our small choosings veers toward good or evil, and sometimes we know not which.
That's where Joseph Smith, our prophet, was shot and killed-so it would stand to reason that a place considered a place of martyrdom would be rather connected to the name-especially in an age with search engine algorhythms.
Well done. doing what is right is sometimes the most hardest thing of all.
