It's true, we talk a good line. When the French first gave us the Statue we
didn't want it. Then it grew on us. Irish need not apply; dirty Wops and so
on. What distinguishes us is not our compassion but the fact that we have laws
against state sponsored terrorism; pograms for example. I do agree that
compassionate is demanded from Americans by virtue of the Americans with
Disabilities Act, a good thing. The change in thinking that that has inspired
has made the PC movement possible. Changing nomenclature and thinking
eventually filters down to where dissing a population feels wrong and gives
civility a chance to flourish. I guarantee you, though. Take off the stoppers
and the compassion will go out the window.
