Not necessarily. Corporate "CARE" centers and "HELP" desks are products of a "softening" of the language for psychological perception purposes. Ever wonder why the WAR department is now the DEFENSE department? How 'bout PERSONNEL? It's now HUMAN RELATIONS. People used to have COMPLAINT departments. It's now CUSTOMER CARE. My favorite, of course, is the tri-evolution of LAY-OFF . . . which became DOWN SIZING until someone realized the word DOWN was "negative terminology." Then, it became RIGHT SIZING.

Questioning things...

<ANOTHER QUESTION: Why is it that those who claim to be tolerant are very intolerant of the intolerant? Shouldn't tolerance also be extended to the intolerant? Isn't bigotry against bigots a form of bigotry?>

ANSWER: 1. No they are.
2. Yes they shouldn't.
3. You have never seen any bigotry until you have seen a sequoia.

1. Because it goes against their pranceables

2. Only if they will let us.

3. If we can't beat them, a diatribe always comes in handy.
