I JUST READ WHERE THE UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND HAS TOLD STUDENTS TO STOP USING THE PHRASE,"ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT." INSTEAD STUDENTS SHOULD USE THE TERM "UNDOCUMENTED CITIZENS" TO AVOID HURTING SOME FEELINGS. EGAD! HOW SENSITIVE CAN YOU BE?
WHEN I WAS YOUNG AND IN UNIVERSITY AND THEN THE US NAVY ONE TOOK PRIDE IN BEING WHAT HE WAS. IT WAS OK TO BE A "MICK" OR A "WOP" FROM NEW YORK OR NEW JERSEY, OR EVEN A "CLOD HOPPER" IF YOU WERE FROM INDIANA. OUR CATHOLIC FRIENDS WERE "MACKEREL SNAPPERS" AND OUR INDIAN FRIENDS WERE CALLED "TONTO." "SPIK" WAS RESERVED FOR OUR LATIN FRIENDS AND AT LEAST ONE OF MY BLACK FRIENDS WE CALLED "HERSHEY." HERSHEY DIED IN KOREA!
WHY DO WE HAVE TO COMPLICATE OUR LIVES WITH A BUNCH OF SILLY IDEAS ABOUT RIGHT AND WRONG AMONG FRIENDS?........Medicineman!
My blog will attempt to be a source of accurate information on any subject put forward. My approach to any question will come from the conservative, freedom loving,and Christian. My background includes history, medicine and military. Welcome!
