Oh, blast, I was wrong: I thought the author was Angela Banner: just
shows you how long those books
have sat, untouched, on my shelf.
Thank you very much for the correction.

Times are hardly changing at all in substance, actually - this is
nothing but a superficial change of costumes in society's grand parade
of exquisite nonsense. Always a great pretense of love, always plenty
of real hate and prejudice. The thugs and their victims do change in
every Act of society's Play, fitting the fashions of the day, but
either way it's still innocent people getting hurt.
For devotees of virtue signaling, let's cut to the chase - time to
change your OWN names too! Lest Tom or Jane offend the perpetually
triggered, not to mention the horror of David, Nancy, Joshua, or Billy
with all the cultural skeletons that imaginative minds could attach to
them. (I could, easily.) Let's be thorough and not stop half-way with
the cultural lobotomy.
For those who love fake news and fictitious history, here's a true
fact to completely ruin the day: I grew up deep in the real South (not
the TV or novel versions) and heard a number of derogatory racial
terms for all races including my own, but NEVER once Sambo. At least
not by real live English speakers in that region - again, books and TV
aside. The point of real derogatory terms would be to sound nasty and
hurtful, and in most places where I've been, Sambo just wouldn't cut
it. Sorry. Maybe it could have been a problem up in the North or out
in California (I have no idea) but certainly not in the South where I
was.
For book burners and those who love censorship, here's the ultimate
downer: the glory of Gutenberg, still going strong!

Once enough people finally tire of pretense and corruption and
control, the smart and honest people of every background can and will
finally get on with the REAL business of a non-prejudiced society to
benefit real people. And it won't be anything like the media/mob fantasy.
Speaking of cheese - even "Cheddar is better" or "I only own
Provolone" would seem amazingly intellectual and relevant when
compared to mind-numbing trends like this! But I dare say LiveCode
topics would be even MORE relevant than either Sambo or the wonders of
cheese! Not to mention talented/hilarious Vikings and glorious,
marvelous sp*m....
Always in love, but always with some intelligence too,
Best wishes,
