Banning Dr. Suess? and changing Aunt Jemima? and changing Mr. Potato Head? Things are happening beyond belief. The censorship is out of control! I also know of people who did no wrong , only speaking truth banned on social media. Thanks for writing this and also the points you made on the potd. I hope all is well Gershon! :)

As a middle-of-the-road radio DJ said in Chicago the other day: "O.K., now they're gonna take down Lincoln. Well, they sure better replace him with someone spectacular!" You could tell that this mild-mannered radio jock had finally reached his limit... The backlash will come, Heidi. Just watch. Nixon's old 'silent majority' will take time, though, to get out of their wheelchairs. lol. Peace, Gershon

You...are...not...kidding! What gives the few the right to chop off arms and limbs. Do I exaggerate?

Not only are you not exaggerating, Kim --- you have popped the important question: Who/What gives these self-appointed censors the right to do what they're doing?! Personally I believe it all starts with 'hate crimes,' which ought to be abolished! E.g., if you kill a Korean because you hate Koreans, how is it different from killing a Korean because he tried to prevent you from stealing from his store?! -- There is no difference: I.e., killing is killing is killing. Period. "Nuff said." Thanks, gw
