Was PC talk invented in CA? Thank goodness it has not spread to Texas.

I think narrow minded means wanting to control everything that peopole do and then hiding behind the feel good words on that list.

Dear Sunny/Abby:

I love to purchase a certain percentage of free-trade coffee, as it gives small growers a fair chance to make money so they can keep doing what they do best, which is grow extraordinary coffee. Problem is, I'm decades too old to be classified as a yuppie, seeing as how the "y" stands for "young." How should I identify myself to righteous Texans when it comes to this?

Signed,
Stumped In Fontana

So, the Christian Right (which is neither). I'd agree that that is a good description of what narrow minded means.

And of course the Liberal Left which basically believes that if you don't agree with them, you are ....wrong.

Narrow minded crosses over all political, theological and ideological lines. Just check the Bay area.

Honestly, I see the Texas side of the translation table as being another form of PC...


Will admit, it is quite humorous..
