  This ain't a road -runner episode.

   I was just kickin' it with some fellow bloggers , we were talking about old sitcoms and I typed an actor's name. It came up Dick Van Bleep.

  Ok, I can see where some people could be offended ( and rightfully so ) by that man's last name if it were used in certain contexts. But I simply typed his name. I was trying to communicate. I was under the impression that  was the point of blogging.

 So, it's done away with.

 Well, heck, he's got a real " barnburner " of a first name, so why not bleep that too ?

And , in a world of 6 + billion people , I'm sure there are those that can't abide that 3 letter word in the middle , for some reason or another.

So, where does that leave us ? Where are we headed , folks ?

 This isn't about free speech. And for those of you who think a certain radio host got a raw deal , this blog ISN'T your rally point !

  I'm not taking the host of this blog to task, either. I'm sure I agreed to whatever when I signed up; and rightfully so. When I enter someone's home, there is an implied agreement that I will abide by their rules, and if I for some reason don't agree with said rules, I am free to leave .

    I'm not asking you to vote for me. I'm not asking you for money. I promise you nothing.

 If you have read this far, I ask you to consider this:

 No matter what race I am, I will offend someone. Ya know what? that's THEIR problem, not mine.

And the same thing goes for gender, religion, nationality, likes, dislikes,... ....

ad infinitum.The things that make you you , me me and us us at some time and/or place will offend someone.

   That doesn't mean we should hide our heads in the sand.

 At some point, we will have to decide, individually and collectively ( meaning ALL of us) what we stand for and what we won't stand for.

So are you saying that because some people are overly sensitive, all of us have to suffer...or at least be more careful??

May 22, 2007 | 7:30 PM Good evening, everyone.

David, I was just out on my deck, and the air changed. A good,steady breeze came from the north and it got noticeably cooler. I don't have a thermometer, but I'm sure there was a temperature drop.
Are we gonna get some rain ?
What just happened ?

May 23, 2007 | 8:33 AM Jeez, if you ask David what time it is, he tells you how to build a clock !

All kidding aside, the answer was very interesting.

Thank you for taking the time to answer my question.

Have a good day .

The point I was trying to make (and admittedly, I didn't do a very good job of it) is if we start omitting words from our language (like people's names) because they MAY offend someone, in a very short time we will dismantle our beautiful language (which is a derivative of many other languages).
