I think he'd have a strong opinion on it. I don't like it when our culture comes up with a phrase that blankets a concept -- like "cancel culture" just kind of envelopes something under a certain pejorative point of view. Views, statues, language, behavior it's all subject to consideration and change. When bosses commented on breasts 20 years ago, it was just business as normal. Today, that kind of behavior is, hopefully, being "canceled." But canceling words or films or books because the "trigger" people or might trigger people -- that kind of stuff is nonsense in my view.
Excellent, thought provoking piece MC. I wonder what Dr. Vittum would have thought about today's cancel culture?
