DELTONA -- First I want to say to the readers that I hope they had a joyous holiday season. Now to my topic at hand related to the holidays: Texas Gov. Rick Perry had to pass legislation so in a particular school system, people could wish others "Merry Christmas" with out legal reprisals. Do we now have to legislate our children's right say "Merry Christmas?"
Has it rely come to that? come to that? We are suppose to have freedom of speech but political correctness is stifling us.
At a Memphis Army base, an equal opportunity officer that in an annual Christmas football tournament they could not use the term "Christmas" and should replace it with "Holiday."
Really?
I do not want to be insensitive to anyone, but I do have the right to say "Merry Christmas." I also do have common sense that if I know someone is a different religion I would not say that greeting to them.
Can we replace political correctness with common sense? Now to the second half of my blog and I don't want to ruffle anyone's feathers, but I hate reality television and avoid watching it if at all possible.
It was all over the news about a certain cable TV show -- you might have heard of it, as if nobody had, right? I have seen about two minutes of the show were they were commenting about how bad this one person was at buying gifts for his wife.
And I thought: "I wonder how much shampoo and conditioner these guys must go through for their scalp and beards soft and manageable and turned it off." This was before the controversy and you'll notice I haven't even mentioned the show on A & E.
It is not because I agree or disagree with them it is because I hate reality TV. I like a good murder mystery or science fiction series. Reality television is based on real people in what I believe as mostly contrived situations. These people have their own thoughts which they might voice.
You as a viewer have a choice, tune in or turn off. There are so many shows that pretty much anyone could be offended by something on television/internet. If you do not like a show don't watch it.
