Amen to that! Just read some of the news blogs and you will see more than enough evidence of that.

Look at how Paula Deen has been treated for something that was totally accepted many years ago. Her 'transgression' occurred then. What she said was not always used as derogatory then but as a descriptor, just as African-American is today. As far as I'm concerned, I think her sponsors should stand behind her, not dump her.

Many of today's ills could be taken care of very simply. Get rid of "Politically Correct".
