Now the mere mention of certain things will send some into a lather, and make it impossible to get your point across to them. Those who stopped reading after the words "Rush Limbaugh" are a good case in point. Worse than that I am sure I will get more than one comment about the person, and not my content. This is the problem with being mealy mouthed about what you write. You aren't actually YOU any more, and it will work for a bit, but it gets confusing when you are being someone other than YOU. Besides the point, if you avoid certain things because you are worried about the reactions of the easily offended, then you are catering to closed minded assholes, and where the hell is that going to get you? Remain YOU and forget about the people who choose to be offended, there are actually more people in this world who aren't easily offended than are.
