Had an interesting PC experience a few days ago. Got an email from someone 
who had apparently been looking for the lyrics to the Davy Crockett song, 
and found my webpage with the music and lyrics on it. He wrote to tell me I 
am the only web source with the "non-PC" words. Huh? I went back and looked 
at the words. The word "Injun" is in the lyrics. I did use google, and found 
that mine is not the ONLY site using the term "Injun", the boy scout version 
says "many a" instead.

S'funny, I have never heard from anyone who objected to the original words, 
but did hear from someone who complains about the "PC" words. I suspect this 
says more about those who object to "PC" than those who supposedly insist on 
it!
