Hurray for your post! Political correctness has gotten just about
as out of hand and stupid as the Republicans.
Also, Shakespeare was *very* foul mouthed. All you have to do
is read some of his plays. There is crude language all over the
place. People today don't recognize it as profanity because they
they don't understand the meaning a lot of the words and phrases
he used had in the century it was written.
