Where have we failed?
06/22/05
In our country today we have to be very cautious as to what and how we say things for fear of 'offending' someone. I can remember a time when if a person was 'offended' he either moved on or took it in stride. Today we have to be mindful of what we say and how we say it. When I think of this, I realize that our very freedom has been compromised. If I say what I want to say and it 'offends' someone, I am considered a criminal or a racist. ... It is our right to express our opinion according to God's law and especially according to the First Amendment. ... In the 1970's, we made comments about and to others without fear of being 'politically incorrect' or offensive. ... Today we cannot do this without first consulting with a higher authority to see if the words we use are generic enough to cover everyone without offending anyone...
