I will try. Anytime free communication is directed or squelched than free speech suffers.

Political Correctness, when we are directed by a group thinking THEY are more sensitive and caring than the rest of us, to use or not use certain words, doesn't change anyone's morality or attitude or the reality of the situation. . It doesn't make anyone MORE respected. It doesn't make an unusual situation or circumstance or person more understood or repected on accepted. It is "Kewl" for the young and aggravating as hell for the old.

Only a kind heart can really be the answer and in the face of that not working, a really good sense of humor, that sees that we are all part of a society that looks stupid occasionally. We cannot laugh at others unless we can laugh at ourselves.

This goes back to the picture of the pitiful man (IN HANDCUFFS) sitting with his pants around his ankles in a public place. It could be you or it could be me. I would expect that if it were me, that someone would find it a tad bit humorous.

That is the reason I stopped drinking.
