tx, I guess for me it's a matter of principle. The "world" wants us to use words like harvest because it doesn't sound so cruel. Killing a deer isn't cruel at all, not in the least. It's a God given privelage, we kill to eat. Why do I have to change my vocabulary because the when I say I "killed" a deer it doesn't give some a warm fuzzy feeling? Why should I have to say I "harvested" a deer to cause some folks to feel better about it?? Why do I have to play by the politically correct set of rules? I killed the deer, I didn't break the law.......Folks are so damned concerned w/ offending and BEING offended that they expect everyone to play by a nuetral set of rules.
People are who they are. Why not just embrace them for who they are instead of "forcing" them to play by a different set of rules because someone was offended? No thanks.
I totally agree with Mobo .... to many things offend others ... they can go spit ... the ones that get offended are not happy unless they have something to be offended about ..... even if WE bend towards them, they will find"error" elsewhere.
