These names sound bad enough to me. They sound comparable to other ethnic slurs.<BR/><BR/>I mean..."prairie nigger" and "nigger"? How much closer can one insult be to another that everyone agrees is offensive? <BR/><BR/>If these insults don't faze Ellison, I wonder what he considers a real insult? I.e., one that bites and slashes and burns and tears.<BR/><BR/>How about this? Your version of "The City on the Edge of Forever" flunked the test, Harlan. Roddenberry's version was better.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01478763837213733775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-1158067850027137742006-09-12T06:30:00.000-07:002006-09-12T06:30:00.000-07:00"The Washington Redinks", how about it?"The Washington Redinks", how about it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
