Of course, there is a danger of censorship. But I think language use actually 
changes as culture changes. And people can push for cultural and language 
changes. And I don't think everything goes underground. That's too cynical for 
me. Some, sure. But I believe people can change. I believe some people practice 
prejudice because they inherited or got it from their peers. But if it really 
sinks home that is what they are doing, they can rethink it and change. People 
can actually have their "consciousness raised." Happens all the time. It's an 
incremental thing. Like cultural change and language change. But those don't 
happen in a vaccum -- usually someone has to be pushing for it. And I support 
that. 

Marnie aka Doe  My last words on the subject too.
