Why Am I Doing This...

I don't know really. I guess because I need a place to vent and express my innermost thoughts. Actually my thoughts will probably deal with social and political issues as I really can't express many off the things that are swirling in my head in public. 

 Not that they are bad, evil, or ignorant. But, my Day Job precludes me from expressing an opinion of the world in which we live.

I realize that many of the topics will be "Triggering" to some. Too bad. It does not give you the right to post vulgarities; insults, personal or otherwise; racial, homophobic, or anti-religion. I moderate all comments so they will not be posted.

Political Incorrectness

Political Incorrectness; being unPC; socially unacceptable language, ideas, or art that causes some to be "Triggered."  Yes, my first blog post is about the scourge that is occurring on the modern day college campus. Why? Because outside of my nom de guerre I am a part of the Quora universe and inevitably a question or statement pops up regarding this topic, so I figured I'd begin laying the ground work for my opinion by stating how I see this term. First let me say what I don't think the term means or allows. I don't believe that being politically incorrect allows for one to drop The N-Bomb;  doing that makes you a bigot and a racist. Same goes for calling undocumented/illegal immigrants "Spics," "Wetbacks,"  or any other derogatory term for someone from Central and South America. As stated above, that's just plain bigotry and racism. It does not allow for one to call the LGBT community any of those special derogatory words; that just ma...
