I love how we rename things to make it sound better for some people. There was a nasty accident on Interstate 35 this morning a truck driver died at the scene of a crash.The semi went off a bridge and crashed into the river. There was some homeless men living under the bridge and now they are merely campers! Who would camp in the weather we've had? No one unless your homeless.
I feel sorry for these people way the weather has been in Iowa you would'nt want to be outdoors camping when its been snowing so much and blowing and with wind chills of -30 below zero and the temp at night below zero at night or close to it.
But some how our local news station KCCI-channel 8 of Des Moines, Iowa makes it all seem better they wasn't poor homeless people they are just campers.
I do feel so sorry for the driver and the family of the driver who died a horrible death. But when we rename something to make us feel better about the poor people who are homeless i get upset. Because we're so worried about offending someone. We might offend the guys if we we're to call them homeless. Ok how about we call them housing challenged ? When i was a kid and there was name calling or things said like that i was told to toughen up grow some tougher skin so it will slide off. I don't know what to call these wimps and yuppies anymore who are offended by everything and anything except grow up and deal with it!
