Supposedly, the word picnic
derives from a quaint ole south'n acronym for pick an n-word to lynch for our entertainment as we consume our box lunches outdoors
. The legend has been kicking around at least since 1999. Totally false, of course. The actual derivation of the word dates to 1692 and is derived from a French word meaning a group of diners who bring their own wine. But that's totally lost on the Obama / Holder Justice Department.
Some in our society can find offense in anything, common sense be damned. If I find great offense at something, I figure that I do not have a Constitutional right to be un-offended for the duration of my life. Go figure. If I am offended to the point that I have to say something to somebody, it pretty much ends with me expressing my opinion. The world does not have to bend to my sensitivities.
