Washington state was awesome until the late 70s when half of California moved there and brought their whiney ways and goats with them
I am so glad I live in the southern most, far far away from the locusts from (progressive liberal) California. They are like the aliens from the movie "Independence day" using resources and forming a area to their desire then moving on after they corrupt. I hear they are doing that in Nevada, Texas, Arizona and Utah now.
They demand high taxes to support the poor and illegals, demand government regulation and gun bans then move away to greener pastures when their area then becomes too tax burdened, too crime ridden. They all love section 8 housing as long as it is in someone elses area, but they personally don't want to see the section 8 people across the street dealing drugs and having 8 unemployed people ,living there that let the grass grow 2 meters high that is the eye sore of the neighborhood.
Oh yes, I experienced that in Miami years ago, my nice middle class neighborhood that had never had much crime , the house across the street turned section 8 because the %^&* owner got paid to allow section 8, having 8 people live there though only two were legally suppose to be there, cars coming and going to buy drugs, grass 2 meters high with ladders, trash bags and assorted trash laying around the house. They didn't have jobs but I OFTEN saw them walking back from the store with beer...
Oh the uppity liberals living in the gated community support that free housing and bringing the poor to live in a middle class area for free to make things "fair" but the hypocrites wouldn't stand for one minute to have that or them people being their neighbors.
A few years ago WA also passed a law to remove all references to 'oriental.' One problem was that practitioners of 'oriental medicine' had used that terminology for years and didn't want to change. They were given an exemption.
Also there were a couple of state reps from Seattle who wanted to go thru all state code, and change all references to "at risk youth" to "at hope youth." As far as I know they didn't get that one enacted.
Oh yeah, and one more--our previous County exec of King County (county in which Seattle lies) spent several hundred thousand dollars to change "King County" from being named after William R. King, a former US VP, to being named after MLK. They changed the county logo, stationary, etc.
I got an earful when I addressed a Christmas card to my "postman" who wasn't a man
I put "To the Postman" on a card attached to a box of chocolates for Christmas and put in the mailbox.
Got a note with "I'm not a man. Thanks for the candy" and she signed her name.
She didn't get any more Christmas presents from me.
I don't see that as you getting an earful. I see that as she was simply telling you she was a female.
Several years ago my state changed the 'workMens' compensation law to 'workErs' compensation law. I fully support that change and other neutral terms, such as firefighter, police officer, mail carrier. Sure, some sound odd or awkward--- the chair or chairperson of a committe. Overall though, these changes are worthwhile.

Right...
hey maybe next we can get the air force to chance the rank of airman to air person? The thing is liberals think that making people change their speech will change their inner structure, well they are wrong because when that "air person" female gets blown to bits in combat compared to a "airman" most people will feel more disturbed that it was a woman that met that fate compared to a man.
LOVE the CA bashers, as if people crossing a border made this happen. As if NOT crossing a border makes someone different/better/smarter. Idiots.
It doesn't matter, it's a non issue, and it doesn't change anything in your life. And it's not like "instead of this they could have cured cancer or stopped all terrorists or ended poverty". Life doesn't work that way.
It's good to hear that WA legislators don't have anything more pressing to deal with. Things like a billion dollar budget deficit, for example.
They can fix that or do nothing ehh? What a conundrum.
