It must be hard when you work in the professional world of words. Media is in a difficult position, ex in a historically accurate movie should they clean it up or should they reflect accurately things that now we don’t want like the n word, smoking etc..? I personally prefer accuracy since if people don’t have a context for how life evolves than how do we experience the conflict that is so useful for personal ethical development. Like is God worth anything without the devil and the other end? (just as a concept not religious issue)
I try to take each situation on its own so I don’t feel militant about it. If personal relationships I just gently remind. We live in a rich and imperfect world and I rather like it that way!

Agreed. Tried of being wary, esp around the hordes of childless 20-somethings I work with. Tired of reading about &/or avoiding reading about the damn new pre-natal test and WHAT IT ALL MEANS. I know what it means. Am much happier bouncing around the blog world, la-la-la-la.
