Unilateral stage - collateral damage

Your comments are always welcome and appreciated. I do not expect everyone to understand let alone like my Rhykus and other poetic offerings. So I expect and accept both positive and negative comments, however critical as long as the comments are honest and direct.

If you will permit me a little rant, IMHO, there is too much avoidance, sidestepping and tiptoeing around a variety of issues, especially when certain groups, genders, creeds, religions, credos, lobbies etc, etc are concerned. There needs to be one universal scale and rating for everyone without having to itemize and delineate each viewpoint based on the origin, the target, the audience and the ripple effect.
