This is the age of political, social, and psychological correctness.
In formulating questions for the California Golden State Examination in
Physics during the early part of this year, we were required to reword
questions where a gun or a rifle was used to launch a projectile. We were
told that guns and rifles and bow and arrows are "violent" and could not be
used in the test.
Ray Rogoway
The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,
But I have papers in a heap,
And in the mornings I can't sleep,
Nor walk those woods so dark and deep.
