this is a sheepish response: What we eat, what bag we use for what we eat, now has become PC or racist. PC is a monster that eventually begins to eat itself. They will begin to hunt their own. Yesterday I had a conversation with a black friend who was convinced he should get a higher rating in Affirmative Action than other protected status individuals and that his mom should get even more (female and black). He was confused between the terms Equal Opertunity and Affirmative Action. I assured him everyone in affirmative action counts, but only as one and that one is not more equal than another (except if the other is a white male, they are less equal). Lenny Bruce would be hunted today by the very people who cheered him in the sixties. Four students suspended in California for wearing red white and blue and chanting USA USA (Two of them have hispanic surnames). "Portland Schools spend $500K to deem PB&J sandwiches racist." (because they aren't eaten in other countries) Bolshevics, Nazis, Mauists taught us that "Words mean what I say they mean," and they eventually started hunting their own (kgb style). During the renaisance rats were put on trial, now we have a drug war (failed), a war on poverty (failed). As American as Apple PIE, is now a racist comment.
