These are just things I write, okay? Sometimes they're profound insights
or funny stories and I'm really proud of them. Other times it's mindless
rhetoric that I've since completely changed my mind about and am ashamed
of. But most of the time it's just words.

Okay, I'm just going to ask a quick question that's been bugging me for some time: Who decided that the politically correct term for those of use that most people call "midgets" or "dwarves" was LITTLE PEOPLE?? That's somehow considered the LESS offensive option? Were any "little people" consulted when this term was decided upon to describe their subsection of humanity? I mean, I can understand not wanting to be called a dwarf, especially if I didn't have a beard. But I just can't see anything wrong with "midget." It's not like it has some double meaning or is generally used in a derogatory sense. Besides, midget and dwarf mean two different things medically, in terms of body proportions. So you lose a certain amount of clarification if you just say Little People.But I'm 6'0" so I'll readily admit I'm not an authority on this subject. If there's something offensive about the words "midget" and "dwarf" that I'm missing here and you don't want to be called by them that's fine by me. (Note the second person "you" in that statement. That means you can't tell me what to say if you're only offended for someone else's sake, you presumptious jerks.) The real crux of my point though is this: "Little People" is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more ridiculous sounding than the two words it seems intended to replace. Why doesn't someone insist we call them "Members of the Lollipop Guild" while we're at it? That's how silly "Little People" sounds. Oh, isn't that cute? They're just like people only little! Let's save that phrase for Liliputans and GI Joe, okay?
Why do we have to be constantly coming up with new devisions of humanity anyway? Can't we just call Little People "kinda short" and be done with it?
