The PC PC Hard Drive?
Check this out. Apparently, in a fit of uber-PC stupidity, the County of Los Angeles has decided that it is offensive for equipment (like hard drives) to carry the labels “master” and “slave.” I don’t have time to express my extreme disappointment in our ultra-PC society right now, but just let me say this: it’s impossible to say anything in this country anymore without having someone try to find a reason to take offense to it. I’ll write more about this at some time in the future.

I got it. How about we replace “master/slave” with the terms “empowered/disenfranchised”. :-) Life can be tooooo funny.

What about the poor S&M people who liked the terms “Master” and “Slave”? Jeez!

Ya know, it really doesn’t surprise me at all ! Although I am also dissappointed to hear this, It ust reinforces the fact that maybe, “Free Speech” isn’t so free after all !
