there are certain things/words that certain groups are sensitive to!....Terry was upset at my mention of "Brown V The Board of Education" striking down" PlessyV Ferguson" which said segregation was okay as long as things were equal. Lee was not happy with a certain political concept no longer in practice in the Home land of the creation of the best dog breed ever created.....we say things in discussion some times not intending to violate the sensitivities of other people....many of us are NOT personal friends so we may say something on this list that is meaningless to us,but causes some one else to go ballistic.......social media communication, which is exactly what this list is, is here to stay.........but I wonder if it causes more problems that it solves....Ed Hill ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2011.
