People who are ashamed of what they are often try to be called something different because they think a different name may lend some respectability.

Prisoners want to be called inmates

School teachers and administrators want to be called educators

Q***rs want to be called gay

Waiters and waitresses want to be called servers

Negros want to be called black or African American or wh**ever the title du jour is

Politicians want to be called public servants

And on and on

A rose by any other name smells the same

And unless I am mistaken, this is an Alinsky ploy, a c*******t ploy - insist a cesspool is a lovely pond and eventually everyone accepts that it is. It is how political correctness got started. It is how h**e crime legislation came to be passed. It is how everything bad that gets passed, does get passed.

BTW, I disagree with one of your revisions: I think politicians want to be called "GODS", not public servants. :lol: :P

Too many of those you named would fit better, a skunk by any other name would smell the same.

They firmly believed as Hitler did that if you tell a lie long enough and often enough the people will eventually start to believe it.

Along with PC the q***rs have made it since nobody calls them q***r anymore.

I was a public school teacher for 28 years and never once called myself an educator but then I was thrown out of the job in 1986 and the NEA hadn't convinced many people by then.

Alinsky is getting too much credit - he was educated my many much closer to the Devil himself!
