"And if my thought-dreams could be seen / They'd probably put my head in a guillotine."

I just caught myself wondering....

What if you could put a mental web-cam inside people's heads and run a search for secret, unspoken thoughts that began, "Those goddamn (ethnic slur)'s..." or similar pattern?

Would the frequency of such thoughts be up or down from the recent past in this new 'post-racial' era?

Gerard,

Please don't give them any ideas. At this point, I'm only bleeding....

Well, I'm doomed, then. The other more immediate danger is being ratted out by PC children for remarks made in exasperation when reading the news.
