Political correctness


Tinker:

We had some very strong influences back in the day when I was young, WWll into the 1950s. The government leaders were terrible hypocrites back then also. We were also changing America social lifestyle into a freewheeling, eat and be merry rhythm and blues, rock and roll looser place to live.

We were full of youthful energy, but smarter then the roaring 20s generachion, who also changed America social lifestyle with the jazz age but managed to collapse their own economy, washing away a great time to live in America.

No wonder we got into some foolish trouble, walking against life's static reality's. But still we returned to the golden rule, of faith, hope, charity, respecting bravery, truth and honesty.
We were not a political correct generachion even though we do still practice public politeness.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

Political correctness and politically correct (PC) are terms that denote language and ideas, policies and behavior seen as seeking to minimize social and institutional offense in occupational, gender, racial, cultural, sexual orientation, disability, and age-related contexts, and towards certain religions, beliefs and ideologies, to an excessive extent.

------
Political correctness and barrooms seem much like one in the same experience to me, a lot of tasty dizzy drinks as we talk to a bunch of phoney people.

And yet this PC nonsense seem to be spreading throughout the country's public airwaves like a new media parasites that keeps infecting the young and innocent.

Why can't the younger people know better than to listen to a self serving TV news media social experiments. I had a real respect for the working press in our country up until very recently. The generation bringing us the news these day are truly a crowd of political cover up specialist fancying themselves as the in crowd, the up to date government social propagandists. They simply cover up when they can't answer the other side of the argument. Truth is not what they want to write about then, so they don't.

With the news media today the show must go on even if its a lie. All show and no substance.
If you want to read something very scary take a look at this Nineteen Eighty-Four novel by George Orwell

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nineteen_Eighty-Four


Nineteen Eighty-Four is a novel by George Orwell published in 1949. It is a dystopian novel.[1] The Oceanian province of Airstrip One is a world of perpetual war, omnipresent government surveillance, and public mind control, dictated by a political system euphemistically named English Socialism (Ingsoc) under the control of a privileged Inner Party elite that persecutes all individualism and independent thinking as thoughtcrimes.[2] Their tyranny is headed by Big Brother, the quasi-divine Party leader who enjoys an intense cult of personality, but who may not even exist. Big Brother and the Party justify their rule in the name of a supposed greater good.[1] The protagonist of the novel, Winston Smith, is a member of the Outer Party who works for the Ministry of Truth (Minitrue), which is responsible for propaganda and historical revisionism. His job is to re-write past newspaper articles so that the historical record always supports the current party line.[3] Smith is a diligent and skillful worker, but he secretly hates the Party and dreams of rebellion against Big Brother.

As literary political fiction and as dystopian science-fiction, Nineteen Eighty-Four is a classic novel in content, plot, and style. Many of its terms and concepts, such as Big Brother, doublethink, thoughtcrime, Newspeak, and memory hole, have entered everyday use since its publication in 1949. Moreover, Nineteen Eighty-Four popularised the adjective Orwellian, which describes official deception, secret surveillance, and manipulation of the past by a totalitarian or authoritarian state.[3] In 2005 the novel was chosen by TIME magazine as one of the 100 best English-language novels from 1923 to 2005.[4] It was awarded a place on both lists of Modern Library 100 Best Novels, reaching number 13 on the editor's list, and 6 on the reader's list.[5] In 2003, the novel was listed at number 8 on the BBC's survey The Big Read.[6]

Dandy Don's LSU Sports Report


The hot topic of discussion among Tiger Fans is Jeremy Hill being suspended indefinitely after being arrested over the weekend on battery charges. As most of you know by now, Hill was involved in an incident that occurred at Reggie’s bar in Tigerland and was reportedly caught on videotape striking a 20-year old man in the head. The man was hit again by another suspect and fell to the ground. The other suspect remains at large and has not yet been identified. What makes this situation all the more serious is that Hill was already on probation after pleading guilty to carnal knowledge of a juvenile while at Redemptorist High School. Per a statement released by LSU’s Sports Information Department yesterday, Coach Miles said that he would let this incident play out through the legal system before making any additional comments.

In the second half of his freshman season last year, Hill emerged as LSU's leading rusher and was widely expected to have an All-SEC season this year. Hill was extremely impressive in spring workouts and in the spring game, and I was looking forward to seeing him and Alfred Blue as one of the premier rushing tandems in the nation this year. With that said, I applaud LSU for taking such swift action in suspending Hill from the team. It was certainly the right thing to do and sends a clear message that this type of thing will not be taken lightly.

In baseball news, LSU dropped to No. 3 in the USAToday Coaches Poll and in Collegiate Baseball's rankings after loosing 2-out-of-3 to South Carolina. The Tigers (39-6, 16-5) are currently first in the SEC West with a 2.5-game lead over Arkansas and second in the overall SEC standings, trailing Vanderbilt by three games. The Tigers will have a chance to improve their standings and climb back up in the polls next week after a big weekend series against Florida, but first they have to take care of McNeese state. Coach Mainieri announced yesterday that Cody Glenn will get the start tonight and will also start in Game 3 of the Florida series. I suspect that Mainieri will limit Glenn to only one or two innings tonight. McNeese will counter with their senior lefty Trey McGee.

Here is this week’s baseball schedule:

April 30 (Today) – McNEESE STATE, 6:30 p.m.
May 2 (Thu.) – FLORIDA, 6:30 p.m. (ESPNU)
May 3 (Fri.) – FLORIDA, 6:30 p.m. (CST/CSS)
May 4 (Sun.) – FLORIDA, 12 p.m. (ESPN2)


Last night I made it out to the TAF Tiger Tour Stop in my hometown of Lafayette and had a great time. Gordy Rush MC’d the event and the guest speakers were Senior Associate Athletics Director Verge Ausberry, Head Basketball Coach Johnny Jones, Football Recruiting Coordinator & Running Backs Coach Frank Wilson, and new Football Offensive Coordinator Cam Cameron. All of these guys were very impressive, but the one who got the crowd of approximately 350 Tiger Fans most excited was Cameron. He spoke enthusiastically about his offense and promised these three things in this order: that they would be physical, that they would run the football, and that they would throw it over their [the opposing team‘s) heads. He also spoke very highly of Zach Mettenberger and said there's a saying that a quarterback improves the most from his first year as a starter to his second, and that he expects that to hold true for Mettenberger. He also joked that Mettenberger could throw the ball from here (Lafayette) to Baton Rouge and that he has the strongest arm of any quarterback he's been around with the possible exception of Joe Flacco. Cameron ended on a touching note about how special LSU fans and the state of Louisiana are, and how happy he is to be here. It was a great night and I thank the Acadiana Tigers TAF Chapter for inviting me to be their guest. I encourage all of you who have an opportunity to attend one of the tour stops to do so, and I'm confident you'll enjoy it. For a list of the remaining stops on the tour, click here. One last tid-bit from the event: Neither Cameron nor Wilson mentioned Jeremy Hill when discussing the running backs.

Playoff selection committee possibilities

April, 30, 2013

By Chris Low | ESPN.com

SEC commissioner Mike Slive says he wants "football expertise" on the selection committee that will pick the four teams for the College Football Playoff starting in 2014.

The most intriguing component in the whole move to a playoff remains the makeup of that committee.

Who's going to be on it? Better yet, who wants to be on it?

From an SEC perspective and a football perspective, I've come up with a few possible candidates. And, yes, I realize that just about every one of these would be perceived as having some kind of bias, which is going to be the problem in finding a panel that satisfies everybody.

They're listed in alphabetical order:

Bill Battle: The new Alabama athletic director was the head coach at Tennessee in the early 1970s and later founded Collegiate Licensing Company and built it into a money-making empire.

Charles Davis: A former defensive back at Tennessee, Davis has carved out an impressive broadcasting career at several different networks and provides analysis for both college football and the NFL.

Vince Dooley: A true legend in SEC coaching circles, Dooley is about as intertwined with SEC football as it gets. He played at Auburn and was a Hall of Fame coach at Georgia.

Jeremy Foley: He's easily the SEC athletic director with the most clout nationally, although he's already said he wouldn't be interesting in serving on the committee.

Phillip Fulmer: Granted, the Alabama fans wouldn't be thrilled, but Fulmer won 98 SEC games, tied for the fifth most in history, and he's available.

Bo Jackson: Still very involved at his alma mater, Auburn, Bo knows football as well as he played it ... and just about every other sport imaginable.

Bobby Johnson: Now retired and living in Charleston, S.C., the former Vanderbilt coach is as sharp and respected as they come and would be a terrific choice.

Roy Kramer: He might be the father of the BCS, but few men have helped to shape college football and the SEC in a positive way more so than Kramer, who's retired and living in East Tennessee.

Archie Manning: One of the SEC's greatest players, Manning still keeps close taps on college football in between watching his two famous sons play in the NFL.

Joe Pendry: A veteran of both the college and pro game, Pendry is now retired from coaching after helping to build some powerhouse offensive lines at Alabama.

Bill Polian: He's currently doing NFL analysis for ESPN, but few people anywhere know the game inside and out any better than Polian, one of the NFL's top executives for a long time.

Gene Stallings: He has ties to both Alabama and Texas A&M and played under the legendary Bear Bryant. Stallings knows what championship teams look like.

Sterling Sharpe: The former South Carolina and Pro Bowl receiver for the Packers is doing a little radio now in addition to his NFL Network duties. He would offer some keen insight in the selection of the teams.

Danny Wuerffel: The former Heisman Trophy winner at Florida would be an excellent choice. He was as smart as he was good and is one of the best people you're ever going to meet. He's also doing better after battling some health problems.
