Before it was NOROVIRUS! we called it stomach flu and it wasn't CONTAGIOUS!, it was just going around. But then, we weren't on cruise ships where it is a national newsworthy problem.
HAND SANITIZER used to be called soap and, no surprise, hand washing is still the best germicide.
Before it was GLOBAL WARMING/CLIMATE CHANGE! we called it weather, and only the laughably superstitious thought we could control it.
Before it was a FETUS, we called it a baby. And we knew, even without ultrasound, that no one gave birth to a BLOB OF TISSUE or PRODUCT OF CONCEPTION.
What we now call SOCIAL ENGINEERING, used to be called propaganda and it was a bad thing.
GAY SEX was called perversion. Gay used to mean light hearted and happy.
MARRIAGE was one man and one woman vowing to stay together for life. If homosexuals want to redefine marriage, they should at least come up with their own word and stop stealing ours.
Instead of pounding the populace with political correctness until we accept new meanings for familiar words, those who want to change our culture should just make something up. After all, they did that with morals.
