I would like to change lyrics in this old song, as though the singer is singing about his female dog, but doesn't reveal this until the last verse.I would like for Catters to help me make up several more verses which I will perform at the local Jams.

First Verse

Sugar Babe Whats the matter with you"
You don't love me like you used to do
Oh Sugar Babe
Is it all over now.

PS. The hook is, She is a dog, and is pregnant. Jim

This is not the first time I have raised this with Jeep Man and it probably won't be the last time I raise it at Mudcat.

It isn't funny when people's stereotypes about fat people are so deep and profound that you almost DIE from the fact that your doctor can't see you for all her prejudices.

One's INTENT is not the issue-- the EFFECT of these IS the issue. When the effect does not match the intent, then people need to learn how they are unawarely contributing to the problem, not deny there is a problem because "that isn't what I meant."

Words carry force far beyond our intent, and we are responsible for them. As far as I am concerned, these are as serious, ugly, and hurtful as nigger jokes.

KNOCK IT OFF.

As I am already at serious risk from the "Politically correct Police", I probably can't do much more harm. I do however need to raise these questions.

   HOW DO I DESCRIBE THE FOLLOWING?

An Indian (American)
A black man
An oriental person
A skinny person (like Me)
A fat person
A tall, or short, or broad person
A person who is deaf mute
A person who is blind
A person who is handicapped

A one legged person

This of course, could go on and on. If, in descriptive writing, we
e constrained not only by good taste but also by the effect that it may or may not have one some peoples feelings.




I have always tried to recall in print the things that I observe.
I make no excuse or ask no pardon for this. If a dog is blue, I call it blue. If a man is a no good SOB, then I call him that.

On the other hand, in my little story of My New Hat, I inferred that BENNY might be on the homosexual side. It turns out that Benny is a "Pretty Good Old Boy". No one complained about this one.

I'm going to let this rest.If I cause any more trouble, it won't be in Jeepman's name. So Long, Short, Skinny, Southern,part redneck, Jim
