    Ya know, we *used* to be able to say what we meant; then came the 
Clinton Administration, where you were no longer "short", a term 
unchanged for centuries, but instead "height challenged" a term that 
spoke of the short person in terms of someone needing governmental 
assistance. Oh, the focus groups!

    I don't try to offend. If I do, I apologize. I don't need the 
acceptance of a fascist government doctrine to speak.

    Ya know, seriously, if we keep tacking this way, we really need to 
move this thread.

    Sure, Sounder's been quiet for quite a while, but it won't help 
anyone with Ubuntu to come here and read this very-off-topic, yet 
interesting discussion.
