The Daily Telegraph has an article in today's on-line edition on the subject of "As sure as eggs are eggs", the same story on which I posted two days ago.
It may be a new year but the old mindset still remains for those who see their job as 'conditioning' society. Witness the comment from Susan Seenan of the Infertility Network UK:
"People who are suffering from infertility are going through a very difficult time and sometimes innocuous phrases can make them upset. “I have certainly not come across anybody claiming that they have been offended by it at all but that is not to say that there are not patients out there who have been offended by it, sometimes it is the innocent remarks which offend. "I always thought it odd that 'crats appeared to have a 'common purpose language' all their own - but not any more!

In a purely innocuous and inoffensive sense, naturally.

So poor Ms Seenan is probably just another empty vessel in need of a soundbite. Where did ridicule go in our society ?
