Most people are required to red Fareinheit 451 in High School, but does anyone? The entire point of the book was that the bookburning started when people wanted everything offensive banned. At this rate, it won't be long before the fireman start loading their trucks with kerosine for our dystopian future.

I've worked for thirty five years and I got laid off. Now people are calling me unemployed. I hate that word I prefer that people refer to me as "Employment challenged" or …….oh hell just call me a deadbeat.

There is no law or provision extant in the Constitution of the United States of America that guarantees one the "right" to not be offended. Would the midgets in question prefer to be referred to as achondroplasic dwarves, or primordial dwarves depending on their particular variety of genetic defect ? It is doubtful. If one lacks the cerebral fortitude/social skills to deal with persons in society that utilise terms that are, shall one say, less than couth, perhaps the "offended" party should consider that the "offender" is possibly a social maladroit & simply disengage from the interaction. It should hardly come as an astounding revelation to anyone, that if a person has attained (chronological) adulthood, yet they still lack basic social mores, no amount of fussing, squawking, or "hissy-fit" pitching is going to stand a chance of inducing self-reflection & character improvement. In such instances simply leave the blathering twit to its own devices, & waste no further time or concern on it. Stooping to such juvenile actions as "telling teacher" is as useless as it is revolting. Anything that furthers the intrusion of the Klepto-thugocracy, that is laughingly referred to as the US "justice" system, into the arenas of social discourse & personal expression (however banal or revolting) should be assiduously avoided.

The state control of words allowed to be used in speech comes straight from communist Russia, where it was used as a mechanism of control and a handy way to weed out counterrevolutionaries. From there, the KGB agents agitated and "educated" at our universities during the 60s and 70s. Now, the stoners from the 60s and 70s are running our universities. Hence, very few universities in America today have free speech.

The KGB was given the mission to foment discord in the US any way possible in order to weaken us. The agitators were advised on how to point out real and perceived injustices to make various groups hate each other. They wanted to turn black against white, women against men, poor against rich, uneducated against educated, labor against management, and so on.

Getting people to identify themselves as a member of a group instead of as an individual is a cornerstone of communist totalitariamism. If they can get Americans to identify themselves as a member of an oppressed or aggrieved group, then they can win. Finally, the old KGB program is going to gain the Soviets a US Supreme Court Judge that views herself as a member of an oppressed minority group instead of as an American. Too bad for them the Soviet empire doesn't exist as they envisioned.

I have heard that song more than I care to mention and have probably heard every short joke most people have in their arsenals. I was also subjected to children's menus until well in my 30's. Everyone has some kind of deficiency, but that is what makes us all individuals. People, we all need to quit being victims and try to be citizens.

You are so right. Now if we can only solve the dilemma of the split infinitive….to deftly do that would be so incredible.
