Political Correctness Gone Mad
Freddy Woo writes: "I once worked on an animation to help highlight the issues homeless people face in winter. The client was happy with the work, then a note came back that the ethnic mix of the characters were wrong. These were cartoon characters. They weren't meant to be ethnically anything, but we were forced to make one of them brown, at the cost of about 10k to the charity. This is how your donations are spent. Wisely as you can see."

Goodness me!
Light the touchpaper and back away... anyways. As for my stance about live and let live, I stand to exactly that. People such as those who attend Westboro Baptist Church, American Televangelists (my word, a theme) and those who blow up abortion clinics should be brought to justice, as they are crossing the line with regards to religion and breaking the law. However, far be it from me to judge and pass judgement, it's only an opinion. Personally, I don't know if there is anything after- it's certainly a comforting thought, I will say that. The idea that there is nothing is frankly scary, despite the fact we won't know about it. At the end of it all though, I still say live and let live, as long as no-one gets hurt. If on the other hand people are physically hurt, then action (far be it from me to decide what, I'm not qualified) must be taken.
