[P-Marlowe]

You know there were a lot of politically incorrect mascots when I was growing up. I know a lot of schools have had to change mascots because they "offended" the INDIANS. There was one school that I recall that had a mascot of the CRUSADERS and the school emblem had a 12th century crusader complete with a sword and a CROSS on the shield and on the battle uniform. I believe they even had shields with crosses on their football helmets. Can you imagine that today?

Geez back then nobody complained at all. My wife went to a school whose mascot was "The Saints" and their school theme song was "When the saints go marching in."

It was an innocent time and nobody complained. Now everyone is offended at everything.

Yep, wouldn't it be nice if everyone grew up and realized there are a lot of differences out there and it's ok?

They're solution is to "hide" the differences so no one will be offended at the world that is actually full of differences.

Our solution is to be open about the differences and just let everyone act out their differences. (Elsewhere known as 'freedom.')

But you gotta be a secure with yourself adult to let a buddhist pray on a street corner or a judge post a 10C display.
