At the risk of offending some old Hanoi Hilton prison guard, the dreaded slippery slope has begun to slide in earnest... and just about everywhere else. To begin, anyone in favor of the latest zero tolerance policy is an idiot. Sorry. Having a different point of view among humans is human nature, not hate. The gay football player celebrating a passionate kiss on national tv had the expected reactions. Mine was Geeeeze, get a room! Others ranged from vile to very supportive. Like I said, human nature. Wouldnt it be nice if we were all perfect (NO) and agreed on everything all of the time (NO). With that said, where will the rascally slippery slope take us with its speech police? The suspense is not killing us. There is no suspense. Take the above example of the above mention PDA. Okay, Gay PDA. One pro football player tweeted the word Horrible. Oopsies, not cool! Off to the NFL sensitivity training, minus part of a paycheck and the temporary ability to compete in ones profession. Dont jump up waving your hand - I see you, but I already know youre wrong. Sorry again. Im NOT interested in the least whether the punishment fits the crime. I AM terrified that anyone would ask the question. Oh, and you should be too.
