Renaming of Species Takes Out the Honor

Renamed 

Ridiculous. Remember Indian pipes? Now they’re ghost pipes. When I thought of Indian pipes, I felt they did Indians honor. Same with Asian carp.

Take away “racism,” take away identity. Even though Asian carp are hated, as such they’re a species and a name with dignity, beyond their particular problem here. That’s the problem with these euphemisms. Fundamentally, they’re an attack on the mind. The world has different regions and peoples. That’s the fact. Independently of our sentiments.

 

Began work on my trout book again. It’s so good I’m surprised I doubted it.
