Political Correctness

The County of Los Angles wins the stupidest policy award. Apparently someone was offended that computer parts use the terms Master/slave when refering to such things as hard drives. The terminology is also commonly used in communications networks where one device will transmit data (the master) and others do nothing but receive it (the slaves). Guess if I ever run for political office, I'll have to kill all those with whom I played Cowboys and Indi...erm Native Americans. I suppose Cops and Robbers would be out too, maybe it should be Law Enforcement Professionals and Justice Challenged Individuals Who Have Authority Issues.
