Words have meaning. Words can be used with precision to convey exact ideas and concepts or they can can be used with less precision to purposely create ambiguity and confusion. My goal is to reduce confusion, promote truth and increase thought by promoting discussion on a number of controversial subjects. In the process of explaining my views I am often required to use terms that have more than one meaning in the English language. Some of these terms have recently been subjected to a process of transformation through the popular media's fixation with being "Politically Correct." In order to achieve any level of accuracy and precision, it becomes necessary to erase as much ambiguity as possible and, I feel, the best way to accomplish this is to define those terms "up front." The purpose of this page is to accomplish that task.

Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical liberal minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end
