What Michelle Obama said should have led to social ostracism for her.

It's too ridiculous to even argue with such an idiot. The plan is to wear people down with such as the Obamas ignoring basic commonsense.

It's similar to having to explain how a man cannot be a woman.

If Michelle isn't careful I shall start calling her Michael, just to annoy her/him right back.

On the train on Tuesday, a young busily shouting and swearing, woman without a ticket, who had with her a maybe four year old boy wearing a tutu over black baggy trackpants said to the enquiring carriage guard "You had better watch your f pronouns.".

After she got off the guard told me that he was sorry for the incident, that he was worried as to how to deal with it, but company training was to think about the other passengers rather than punishing the offender.

So better to ignore her and let her travel free rather than create a scene.

“When a population becomes distracted by trivia, when cultural life is redefined as a perpetual round of entertainments, when serious public conversation becomes a form of baby-talk, when, in short, a people become an audience, and their public business a vaudeville act, then a nation finds itself at risk; culture-death is a clear possibility.” — Neil Postman
