New York....Again

While Webster and the like continue to add new words to the English language dictionary, New York City continues it crusade to remove them:
The New York City Council, which drew national headlines when it passed a symbolic citywide ban earlier this year on the use of the so-called n-word, has turned its linguistic (and legislative) lance toward a different slur: bitch.
Wowzers.
The term {bitch} is hateful and deeply sexist, said Councilwoman Darlene Mealy of Brooklyn, who has introduced a measure against the word, saying it creates “a paradigm of shame and indignity” for all women.
Is not the term "woman" deeply sexist? Or girl? Even lady? After all, they do apply only to... gasp... females.

Oh, and lets not forget "ho":
While the bill also bans the slang word “ho”... Ms. Mealy acknowledged that the measure was unenforceable, but she argued that it would carry symbolic power against the pejorative uses of the word.

*New York City Councilwoman Darlene Mealy of Brooklyn*

But it will be be a law in New York city... where you can get arrested and thrown in jail for using the n-word... you honky gringo white trash sexist bigoted homophobe.(all legal words in New York city.)

Like Vox Day has pointed out, Atheism leads to utilitarianism.
These socialist engineers have a politically correct, multiCULTi agenda for how their leftist utopia should operate, and the end justifies the means to implement it...
Even if it means destroying free speech.
