In a recent article, I comically used the dysphemism “like a B-52 over Nagasaki” to describe my writing style. My aim was not to offend anybody. Well, not to offend anybody with that statement. I had an interesting comment that got me to thinking about how long is the moratorium for humorous references to tragic events.
I personally choose to laugh at as much of life as possible. I have found that it really helps me keep my sanity. Yet, at the same time, I don’t want to laugh at other people’s expense or in the wake of their pain. Now it’s one thing to laugh at kids that wipe out while riding their bikes and skateboards. It’s an entirely different thing when you outrage an entire generation.
