I just caught bit an pieces on TV, but the part that got me about her was said " Racially-charged private email". To me the operative word here is "private". Were is it said, in America can not have negative thoughts, one can not express their opinion in their the private environments. Same thing with Donald Sterling, it was a private remark, whether is was right or not, it is not my call. The excuse is they are at a higher standard, that is crap!!! Did I miss something while I was asleep, did censorship slowly creep in. In my privacy I should have the right to be and express my opinion, if I choose to be Homophobic, racist, genders, dislike people and things, and even vegetables. Should be my business and know one else. I just see a pattern, and it is not just with these people, often on TV, it is petty and counter productive. Or am I wrong, should we not have the right to privacy.

I don't know what she wrote, not really interested. But, private should be private and folks should be allowed their own thoughts.
But, as I'm beginning to learn, emails aren't private. They are there for the whole world to see.

I think that emails are kind of a double edge sward, the intent to be private, but yet you don't have that right. Its like the Cloud, to me it is inviting the world to spread the legs, to know everything they in tend to do. You ever see the program on TV called, Person of Interest, I think the Cloud is going in that direction. Those I believe, sunken barges one on each coast that belong go Google, still haven't felt comfortable with. So maybe Pascal, Sterling issues can be prototype for loss of right to privacy. My feels who cares what you say, "stick and stones", grow up, get over it, as long as it is just words.

I don't think it is the power of the words as much it is, how weak minded is the person that is reading it. That subject of words influencing people has all ways fascinated me. Hitler, Charles Manson, Martial Applewhite and so on. Back in my younger days, some people got all excited over a song, by MC5 called Kick out the Jams, I was like, so what!! And that is what triggered my interest of words and people.

private is private! however, if ones "private" thoughts are cemented in time forever on the internet and someone can produce them as evidence after a crime is committed, well then, that is no longer private. Just like lewd pictures emailed "privately" can be a crime if someone can produce them and prove the circumstances for which they were sent.
Bottom line. Only put on the web stuff you will NEVER care if the whole world sees.

she (and you) have the right to say or think anything you want, the first amendment means that the government won't/can't do anything to censure you...however the rest of us can laugh at you, bitch at you, disagree with you, refuse to do business with you and generally, if we want to, ostersize you from polite socieity for something that you say/think that no longer fits the current social norms of a polite society |

Good point! Two things though, the first, that door swings both ways, the other is, far as I am concerned, I am socially challenged and very independent, so I look at things differently. It is never my intention to hurt people, I just speak my mind.
