   Actually, the "C" in the politically correct, denialist version is   
   "Common."   
       
   If liberalism is so tolerant, what is the objection to centuries of   
   use in millions of publications?

   BCE (Before Common Era) and BC (Before Christ) mean the same thing-   
   previous to year 1 CE (Common Era). This is the same as the year AD 1   
   (Anno Domini); the latter means "in the year of the lord," often   
   translated as "in the year of our lord."   
       
   What part of "mean the same thing" is lost on the politically correct   
   revisionists?   
       
   It is an irrational focus to work on obliterating reference to someone   
   whom denialists claim died and rotted millennia ago.

   know for sure that just ain't so.' -- Mark Twain   
       
   Do the same denialist want to erase Mark Twain from history?
