Every now and then I hear something that lends credence to my long held theory that people get sillier every day.  Today I heard that a childcare centre in Queensland is banning the nursery rhyme 'Baa Baa Black Sheep', or else singing 'Baa Baa Rainbow Sheep'.  Dunno about anyone reading this, but I have never seen a rainbow coloured sheep.    The closest I've seen to such a beast would be in a trip to Inida many years ago and there was a donkey painted with coloured polka dots.  Black is a colour, okay (or else maybe complete absence of light, but I'm not an artist and don't feel qualified to comment on its true definition)?  Some sheep a black.  If the sheep was white, would you be worried about promoting neo-Nazi supremacy?  I think not.  I tell you what, I would remove my child from such a day care centre that bowed to political correctness as its most silliest. 

 

Oh well, the spleen is vented.  Won't get much writing done on my third novel today as I've got my six year old here.  Might take him to the park, and get him away from the television. 

 

Ciao for now!

Stupid. Never have I heard anyone call that rhyme "racist".
