Quit Being So Sensitive! By Frances Lee The Weekly Hornet I - r -

What happened to the good ol' days when white people were "white," blacks were "blacks" and skinny people were walking "Feed Me" signs? Whatever happened to free speech? Forgetting that we have freedom of speech, we've taken it upon our- selves to choose our words carefully, invent new terms and sidestep deli- cate issues lest we be labeled racist, sexist, Republican or (gasp!) politi- cally incorrect.
