Don't go Grubor on us now Tim. Slip over the border and get some downers to handle the delusion of "some jurisdictions" that make it "illegal" to call someone "black." Your gorge is also a lot more steady than you think, so I wouldn't worry about it. If you can choke down nuclear bombings of civilians, surely you can handle the new "private dictionaries" of a few radical feminists who spell "adult female" w-i-m-m-i-n. --tallpaul PS: I identify with that section of the women's liberation movement who spell a different word b-y-t-c-h.
