Tongue Tied

Tongue Tied

Clearly, I'm making up for a week's worth of neglect today. But when there's nothing to talk about, there's nothing to talk about. I did have three books to finish, a baby on the way and some serious home re-orientation to accomplish... Not to make excuses, obviously when there's something to write about I can always find the time.

Have I mentioned that I really hate political correctness? I mean I hate it almost as much as I hate insensitivity and racism. I don't believe in pulling punches, if something needs to get hit, you should pound it. Through some convoluted web surfing I stumbled onto Tongue Tied. A passionate backlash to all acts of legally backed thought policing. Using the ACLU or any defamation league to curtail freedom of speech or thought is horrific.

It's a brilliant ploy... Using people's own inherent decency to make them feel indecent. Political correctness is a distraction in the war on prejudice. It serves to highlight differences and make divisions where none should be. More over it artificially suppresses thought through guilt which can never be a permanent solution to the problem. It's like stitching a wound closed without disinfecting first. The problem festers beneath the surface and poisons the whole body. The most overlooked aspect of the whole PC program is that it demeans the majority through guilt in order to prevent the marginalization of a few. This always sets up a really nasty backlash for the future. Anyway, some of these news stories on this site are hilariously absurd. I feel less sympathetic to people's "mental anguish" with every story.

Someone once said America is populated with Whiners and Busy-bodies (two of my personal pet-peeves) and the politically correct movement encompasses both.
