he is indeed
i don't agree with every post he's made, but they're always thought provoking
He's the source of my
'child as an arrow' analogy, where the parent needs to accept that they are not the archer, but merely the bow, their job to provide a stable launching platform for the child (arrow)
Life, or god , if you prefer, is the archer

yes, because they CHOSE to be offended, because of the context
I never said it wasn't a universal thing, nor did Elliot
Hell, the 'Proud black man' Tees you used to see are technically racist, and some of the folks I've seen wearing them go there, but I generally assume that's not the intent of those wearing it, so i'm not offended

If one were to wear a shirt, said:
“Wife Beater” / “Child Abuser” / “Cheater & Steeler & Lier” / etc.

Everybody would be up in arms, about, that, ‘Person’.
NOT THE SHIRT !

Yet, as Art Says: A shirt that says:
‘Proud to be Black”
Is, JUST AS RACIST, as one that says:
‘Proud to be White”

Gosh, I campaigned, Against Obama. And was called, ‘Racist’.

If Condoleezza Rice ran, and I campaigned, FOR her.
Would I be called, ‘Raciest & Sexist’ ? (Most likely not)

It’s all about, being, ‘offended’.
Yet, that also, is subject to, the P.C. Police.

Say, I Wear a shirt that says: “I Eat Bacon”
And someone else has a shirt that says:
“ I DON’T eat Bacon”

How many people, will say:
’Their Offended” (Seeing the, ‘I Eat Bacon”, shirt)

And instead of the P.C. Police saying:
’Tough, you are in a different country now’.
They, wanna be PC Correct, and, BAN, the,
“I Eat Bacon”, SHIRT.

Ben Franklin once said: "If you give up a freedom, for the sake of security, you will have neither".
Which is More TRUE, today, than yesterday.('06, S-40, Stock) well, mostly .
