The "N" word is out. The "F" word is out. "Ho" is out. "Screw" is out. "Intercourse" is out. "Dago" is out. "Dike" is out. "Queer" is out. "Spick" is out. I could go on all night long.

Love is in. Peace is in.

I wrote about this last year. About 40 years ago, the Smother's Brother's Comedy Hour TV Show shared a song they had written;"Chocolate." "I fell into a vat of choc, I fell .......And what did you do when you fell......? I yelled Fire! Why did you yell fire? Cause when I yelled chocolate, no one came!"

George Carlin, the comic, even entertained an entire show's audience, where he discussed the words that were/are considered nasty, offensive or synonyms for body activities.

I keep wondering...PRESUMING that courts still believe in the first amendment and also presuming that the churches of America do not represent legislation for and of language, thus, what or who are the judges of "Proper" language.

One judge was quoted, decades ago, regarding pornography "I know it when I see it", but no one has determined absolutely what may and may not be spoken with invulnerability!

While some entities dislike this word and that word, I have my share of words I dislike; avocado, broccoli and spinach.

Do you know that the more "Radical" an entertainer is in his/her appearance, singing or acting style, the more "Fans" that entertainer "Creates!"

The United States has included, in its reasons for going to war, the defense of language and equality for all. Thousands of people, when they see a politician, entertainer or other person on TV, that they do not like, all do the same thing; change the channel. They do not work energetically to stop the language or the entertainer from "Entertaining."

When my friends wish to taunt or tease me; the Black friends call me "Whitey", my Blind friends, call me "Sighty", my tall friends, "Short stuff ."

I feel calling a Black women's basketball team "Gimpy Hos" to be stupid, absurd, and colorful. Is it intolerable? Why is calling anyone, anything, intolerable? Over the last few years,
