-JT-'s Blog

  This ain't a road -runner episode.

   I was just kickin' it with some fellow bloggers , we were talking about old sitcoms and I typed an actor's name. It came up Dick Van Bleep.

  Ok, I can see where some people could be offended ( and rightfully so ) by that man's last name if it were used in certain contexts. But I simply typed his name. I was trying to communicate. I was under the impression that  was the point of blogging.

 So, it's done away with.

 Well, heck, he's got a real " barnburner " of a first name, so why not bleep that too ?

And , in a world of 6 + billion people , I'm sure there are those that can't abide that 3 letter word in the middle , for some reason or another.

So, where does that leave us ? Where are we headed , folks ?

 This isn't about free speech. And for those of you who think a certain radio host got a raw deal , this blog ISN'T your rally point !

  I'm not taking the host of this blog to task, either. I'm sure I agreed to whatever when I signed up; and rightfully so. When I enter someone's home, there is an implied agreement that I will abide by their rules, and if I for some reason don't agree with said rules, I am free to leave .

    I'm not asking you to vote for me. I'm not asking you for money. I promise you nothing.

 If you have read this far, I ask you to consider this:

 No matter what race I am, I will offend someone. Ya know what? that's THEIR problem, not mine.

And the same thing goes for gender, religion, nationality, likes, dislikes,... ....

ad infinitum.The things that make you you , me me and us us at some time and/or place will offend someone.

   That doesn't mean we should hide our heads in the sand.

 At some point, we will have to decide, individually and collectively ( meaning ALL of us) what we stand for and what we won't stand for.
