Gee, this has proven to be the most entertaining list I belong to. For the last day it's been like a bad accident that I can't stop staring at. Let me share a little story, it was 1957, the pepperoni were swimming upstream, we were parked in front of the police station downtown as my father ran inside for his pay check. Sitting on the back seat I shouted 'Look Mom it's a <the N word>'. A word I had learned at home. The gentleman on the sidewalk stopped and stared into the window of the '55 Plymouth at me pointing at him with my three year old, two inch long, lilly white forefinger. The man gave me an 'in your face look' for a moment then a little curl at the corner of his lip that could have been a faint smile or a smirk, he then walked on down the sidewalk. Needless to say, at the age of three I conceptualized that all that seems appropiate may not be. I remember the gentleman's face, expression, the hat he was wearing like a photograph today, although the moment happened fifty years ago. So, with that said and as a homosexual, I cringe a bit when someone refers to a product or action as being <the offending G word> but i'm not immobilized by it... to understand others I have to look inside my self... -rick
