      Souljacked - Mark Antony Rossi

      Author

      Introduction:

      Digital Dunces Be Damned

      The world has changed dramatically since the 1980’s and I don’t mind the end of the Cold War or the disappearance of vinyl records. What pains me as a writer is the police state tactics of word wimps involving hyper sensitized feelings about Race, Sex, Age, Size and now suddenly switching genders at the drop of a hat pin. What the hell happened?

      When you have a famous guy winning an Olympic medal for a grueling 10 event competition suddenly wanting to be a 10 himself --- you have a situation ripe for head scratching and maybe some locker room humor. But stupid jokes do not amount to hatred and often tell more about the joke teller than the subject at hand.

      Sadly, these days, no matter who you are, a glossary is required to navigate the swirling nonsense thrown at the average person. The rule for the wise is simple: if you must suspend common instinct or common sense you are entering the politically incorrect zone.

      A quick glossary provided may be helpful:

      It’s not hard to support worthy goals of reducing hatred and violence towards people different than most of society. The real issue is how do you achieve a better world by modifying language and expect the elimination of prejudice. Instead of creating understanding you drive bigotry, fear and plain misunderstanding deeper underground and angry having to listen to whining, whimpering and whacky long-winded definitions. We have gotten to the point in society that a love poem to my wife is considered by some to be bondage note from a gender slave owner. And this absurdity from the very people whom have been informed us for the past 50 years that marriage is a business contract created by evil sex-starved men. They are the same ones in the past 10 years who are promoting gay marriage as the coolest, fairest, most equitable arrangement ever invented in the world ----unless you’re straight, then it’s bad and abusive
