Arnie,
Unfortunately we have too many people in this country who think freedom
of
speech takes precedence over common decency. They don't realize or don't
care that by being inconsiderate in their choice of words or analogies
that
people will discount what they say. It is more important to them to do
it
their way rather than in a way that will get the audience on their side.
I happen to also know what a society would devolve down to if you
omitted EVERYTHING and ANYTHING that offended some person,
somewhere. If you first cleansed all your speech, writings, thoughts,
and every other form of expressing yourself simply because one person
somewhere would get mad about it, what do you have left?
Oh, that's right. A socialist utopia.
That's not "my" america.

As you obviously don't know, the message gets through a lot better when you
speak in terms appropriate to the audience. Any public speaker knows this
or if he doesn't, he learns it quite quickly. If you don't present your
ideas using terms that the audience understands and likes, they will tune
you out. Your message is wasted. and so is your time if you've just got to
"let it all hang out."
