It is a concept that allows deviating from right and wrong to avoid offending someone or a group.
I prefer to continue to teach my kids, my grand children and great grand children...doing what is right is never, EVER a problem. It only becomes a problem when one tries to water down or wander from doing what is right to please a few.

I also agree this thread is not a political issue. It is one that could affect your daily life like running red lights or stop signs.
The Elizabeth Edwards example is an excellent one.
