Actually wheelchair I have thought about that. I often hate the idea of addenda find myself as Caucasian or white. Last time I checked that was American.
I have to tell you our society has made leaps and bounds over the last 30 to 40 years. I mean never in my lifetime that I think that the people of West Virginia would consider voting for an African-American. That's no slam on them, it's just something I never thought would happen in my lifetime. I'm not saying they're going to, but the fact they're even entertaining it is remarkable. I can tell you my two uncles, who reside in Kentucky, will never vote for a black man. I am hopeful that we will continue to progress to the point where race is no longer an issue in life at all. Of course I'm sure it will be replaced by something else. That just seems to be the way things are. Now that I think about it you are quite right about squashing ideas. As long as everything is done civilly, there's nothing wrong with that. We can always hit the delete key.
