Okay. We've recently had a
“Google” chief fired for sending a thousand dollars in support of
California's Prop 8 several years ago. The Brenan Brothers are being
condemned in the press for their support of traditional marriage.
Football players are being sent to “Sensitivity Training” for
reacting to a homosexual kiss; staged by Ophra Winfrey's OWN Network.
President Obama gets kudos
for calling gay folks to congratulate their “Coming Out” while
failing to defend Former President Clinton's “Defense of Marriage
Act” (actual law that was voted by Congress and signed by a
president... or what is better known as “The Law of the Land”)
Today I read that two more
jobs have been created by the Obama Administration; as two radio
hosts in New York State have lost their jobs by making light of
“Transgendered” individuals.
Now, I did not hear the
broadcast remarks of the radio hosts, but the AP article mentioned
that more than 4000 people took exception to the way the hosts opined
(or joked) about the city of Rochester's decision to pay for gender
reassignment surgery. The assumption is that the hosts took exception
to the taxpayers having to foot the bill for people not wanting to be
the sex they were born into.
This is much like the
Pentagon giving in to the “Bradly Manning” boy-wanting-boobs at
the expense of taxpayers deal that was recently agreed to by the
Commander in Chief.
So people are not
permitted to express opinions that Transsexuals should pay for their
own operations and Lord help anyone who would suggest Transsexuals
might be suffering some mental incapacity that keep them from being
satisfied with the genitalia they were born with.
Now, speaking of opinions:
there was a recent report out of Oregon of a lawsuit, where a
business (hotel) is suing someone who dared to post an adverse
opinion on the“Tripadvisor” website. The article is by Aimee
Green at the “Oregonian”, so you can “Google” and read her
report.
Anyway, you must be very
careful with your opinions on any of the websites designed to
“Advise” or otherwise express yourself about the businesses you
patronize. Apparently, you cannot have an adverse opinion or, if you
do, you must express your opinion in such a way that it is not
misunderstood as “mean-spirited”.
To be fair. The opinion in
question was written poorly and may very well have been completely
fabricated, but let this story be a warning to “Be Nice” when
trashing anything iconic.
Which brings me to the
student who expressed his opinions about his University of Wisconsin
professor, who is now suing the student for defamation because he
apparently thinks very highly of himself.
In these days of social
media one must be very careful not to hurt someone's feelings. All of
those opinions are posted to public domain for anyone to search. In
my personal opinion, narcissists like President Obama do not like it
when people opine ill of him. This is why he is always on television;
defending himself as a boob who knows nothing about anything until he
reads it in the New York Times. He has his “Blame Game” down to a
science: always hiding behind some “Bush”.
The typical man on the net
does not have a battery of lawyers protecting his/her opinions.
Lawsuits can go either way; depending on whether the judges have been
appointed the the Politically Correct or the conservatives who serve
truth above innuendo.
Be careful out there.
