"You'd be a lot less worried about what people think of you...
if you realized how little they do."
(quote from page 217, The One Minute Millionaire
by Mark Victor Hansen & Robert G. Allen)

Often we 'pull our punches' to avoid ruffling someone's feathers.
Sometimes the truth hurts. But it needs to be revealed.

You reference John Carlton. Someone else mentioned
Gary Halbert. Both use "strong" language in their writings.
I find it distasteful.

I don't like the "shock jocks". I don't appreciate
the street language that some folks use.

I'll admit that they get people's attention.

But I refuse to support that kind of mis-use of their right
to free speech.

I remember returning a set of tapes to Nightengale-Conant
because of the "mild" curse words that were sprinkled
through this particular set of tapes. They just weren't necessary.
There was no socially redeeming value added to the tapes by using them.
Like adding a few curse words to a movie to make it PG-13 or R rated
to attract a larger audience.

Taking offence when someone speaks the truth in love is self-defeating.

Being offended by someone who spews forth trash words from the gutter
could be considered to be righteous indignation.

You don't have to be a life-long proponent of King James' english.
But you don't have to spread the crusty talk of the streets either.

Just one man's opinion,

JDB
