WORDS COLLIDE

I was pleased, almost ecstatic, to hear that our great Legislature is finally donating a significant amount of time (and our tax money) to solve the pronoun crisis in our state. And it’s about time, as our teachers have been challenged handling this difficult unit of instruction. I hope this may be expanded into a serious investigation into nouns, like girl, boy, lad, lass, mother, father. Maybe we could investigate the entire language.

Let’s get rid of this woke nonsense. And the imaginary insurance crisis in our state (it only deserved the lip service it got), or the difficulties that surely will arise because of climate change (perhaps the state will be even more popular as Waterworld). Let’s also forget that murder has become almost commonplace (the proposed gun carry laws will undoubtedly put that to an end with the ability of us all to freely return the gunfire).

To the Florida Legislature’s credit, the list goes on.

I am also certain this is just what a large segment of our population really desires, getting rid of all this Woke garbage (like grammar.) Carry on, oh ship of state.

Miami regional newspapers close their doors, national news outlets consolidate, and most remaining daily publications get thinner and even omit a day of printing, our First Amendment rights are diminished. Funding for these publishers and the abundance of talented, unemployed journalists should be a high priority in this time of conspiracy theories.

Florida’s House Civil Justice Subcommittee’s HB 991 bill is an insult to every news organization and should be quickly discarded.

Incidentally, Madison, who was a slave owner, protected Southern antifederalists and their need to prevent the dreaded slave revolt by creating the Second Amendment.
