remember my first encounter was a story from the univ of michigan where a male student had said something that a coed felt inappropriate and the school made the guy go to some type of sensitivity class or be expelled. people are going to dislike others for various reasons, that will never stop and people will say inappropriate things, this will never stop. my feeling is that some have set aside groups and individuals who are off limits, nothing can be said about or to them while they can say anything they wish and it can never be inappropriate and is acceptable to the elite who made this entire deal up. i treat people as people not as some race, religion or special group, just treat them all the same, like some of them, don't like some of them and that is the way it should be, just treat people as humans not some special group or a special individual. in my opinion, if someone is offended by some words then they should attend a class. we have become a nation of victims who now understand how this deal works and all they do is complain about this or that and play this game to the hilt. what this guy said at a private gathering is not something people should be upset about no matter if he sits on our board, just nothing to be concerned about or be worried about. this is blown way out of proportion. if you do not think that liberals, who made this thing up, do not sit around saying things about others, then you are living with your head in the sand, it goes on everywhere by all people. if you do not like this, that is OK but it is not something that is life or death or that bad and certainly not something to get on a soapbox and say it is not acceptable and you should pay for your words. it is silly and ignorant and divisive not a good thing.
