Barney Bump!!!........isn't it sad how words like hate, diversity, tolerance, etc should still mean essentially the same things they always did but their usage normally indicates something more far reaching. Nowadays when I hear those words my PC hackles usually stand on end.

"Discrimination" used to mean what every person does when they chose one thing over all others or exclude one thing from all the others. What soap to buy, excluding all others? What day to never go to the grocery store but include going on all other days? Which person to talk to? Which person not to talk to?
