Home, Home of the CHANGE®

Oh, give me a home, where the buffalo roam
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard a disparaging word
And the skies are now cloudy all day.

Chorus:
Home, home of the CHANGE®
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard a disparaging word
And the skies are now cloudy all day.

Today’s reflection:

What does it mean when the country that practically invented “free speech” now censors your trademarks for politically incorrect “disparaging” words?

In what some see as the first step to forcing the Washington Redskins football team to change their name, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on Wednesday cancelled six federal trademarks of the team name because it's “disparaging” to Native Americans.

Also for your consideration: What happens when the formerly freest nation on earth has turned its federal agencies – from the IRS to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office –  into political arms of the ruling class/party, populated by partisan hacks?

All I can say is watch out Big Boy, Lady M’s coming for you next:

And there are others out there – and you know who you are - that might want to start reconsidering their traemarks as well:
