Oh my God (oops, that's politically incorrect too), I never knew all these years that my coffee drinking was racist.  I'm so ashamed!  Now let me take a sip of my coffee without milk (yes, I can drink coffee and then go to bed).  RazorX, these only touch the surface.  Everywhere you turn the p.c. police are turning the world upside down.  In a lot of ways, this p.c. movement parallels living in a Soviet style atmosphere where you could be jailed for saying something that didn't fit with the party line.  But now you're just branded with some intolerant label to shut you up and deem you as an extremist of one variety or another.  Would someone please point me to where it says in our country's founding documents that you have the right to not be offended.  I haven't been able to locate it after all these years.  It's all very tiresome.  OK, I'd better shut up.
How is that Hopey / Changey thing working for you?

I probably shouldn't have said anything, but the racist coffee thing got me going,  C*f3  and I lost control of my keyboard ~!.  I've been a bad boy although I hope I didn't really say anything too offensive.  Please ignore me if I set you off.  I need help.
