I absolutely get you. I think I am more like Dr. Prasad in that I use terms and words that are over the top. I think mine came from years of watching and listening to thoughtless, ridiculous, inane things people/groups do. And because of that the reaction has been to feed their unfounded ways of seeing things and change laws, amend rules, set up oversight committees. Maybe I got cranky in my old age, maybe I'm just saying what other people aren't. But, back to you. Yes. You are correct. We should say what we mean rather than trying to make a point with sarcasm.

I am moved by this thread - I am usually politically incorrect, but it correlates to my anger more often than not. Anyway, I love how VP’s readership inspires me to be more thoughtful and listen (even if text). Very little else these days gives me pause, so thank you.
