The Thought Police Ride Again

For a few years now, from time to time, my husband and I have gone to breakfast at a local omelet restaurant a few minutes from our house. They make the best omelet and bacon in town from our perspective, along with very pleasant and welcoming waitresses.

On the kitchen door behind the cashier of that restaurant was a sign that read something like this; "Don't let these smiling faces fool you, these are mean vicious women."

Every time I saw that sign I laughed and enjoyed the sense of humor and the waitresses there thought it was funny too. We knew it was a joke because it was the opposite of truth, everyone enjoyed the little splash of humor.

Sadly political correctness set in recently and the sign was removed. I suppose the word "women" is no longer tolerable as well as a joke that teased a particular gender.

I find it very sad that all resemblance of personality is being removed as though we are all suppose to walk around like programmed robots saying and doing the perfect thing, so as not to offend the bratty and self righteous hyper-sensitive thought police.

We are encountering more and more chaos, egg shell walking and intimidation than I have ever seen in my life time. I notice too that people are less happy and almost completely devoid of joy because of this overreach of power to control our personalities, our thoughts and our expressions.

Becoming weary, of the few that manipulate and intimidate the masses while they do whatever they want I have lost any concern about expressing myself as have a few others. These bastions of self righteousness in the form of "thought police", do not place such restraints on themselves in their personal expressions but demand others do as they say or suffer for their independence.
