   I wonder how many women who actually serve are offended by that?   
      
   In Kentucky, we had to change our state song.  It made a reference to   
   African-Americans that, while not as offensive as the "N" word, was no   
   longer considered flattering.  So they changed it to "people."   
      
   That is all fine and dandy, except that the song used to be about the   
   plight of African-Americans in this part of the country during the time   
   right before the Civil War (1850's).  Now it is about nothing.  IMHO, someone   
   white was probably offended that our state song was about African-Americans   
   and started the whole push to change it.   
      
   They will eventually remove the word "gay" also, if they have not already   
   and I missed it.
