Freedom's A Bitch

Thanks to Vox Day's occasional linking, we've picked up the habit of reading Dr. Helen's blog. Mind you, we put no great store in psychology (which we consider to be 20% observation and 80% speculation), but the erudite lady is well worth the read.

Especially today. It appears that there is no shortage of cretins more than willing to tell you how to live your life. We would dare to suggest that, instead of getting all exercised about the vocabulary of otherwise harmless citizens, these imbeciles just might find their time used more productively in perusing at least the US Constitution, if not the Constitution of the State of New York.

Apparently, the thought that their meddling in our lives is far more odious than any epithet anyone could toss about, completely escapes them. Perhaps someone from the Empire State could enlighten us as to just when it was that the state became the arbiter of interpersonal communication and manners?

(By the by, may we presume that it is still OK to refer to Councilwoman Mealy as a "stupid cow"? At least until legislation to the contrary is passed?)
