This thread is classic The Villages"".

First there is more than one genesis for an idea. I can recall a guy who wrote the editor that the state finally listened to him and created a new license plate. Really just how many thousands of risents do you suppose had the sme thought. So I believe more than one incident created the need for the term kool aid.

Secondly, the over-reaction to senior citizen's informational post providing a definition of kool aid is instructive as to how deeply "political correctness has replace candid conversation in our society. Since most residents are over 55 should we also avoid the term dying death? What other terms or issues should we prohibit. How much further should we go in our society until we finally succeed in ending free speech. My best friend(a brother to me) committed suicide should I ask people not to use that term in my presence? No I welcome the oportunity to explain to people that suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem

As to kool aid in connection to The Villages the fact remains that there are folks who did just that. You want to identify them? they are the residents who actually believe that by moving here they are wealthier, safer, healthier and living in a Disneyworld. Personally I have always subscribe to the belief that you can ignore reality and have it work against you or embrace it and have it work for you.

Some residents here just have to get a grip.

Senior citizen thank you for your post
