It's getting harder for all of us to hide our true character. I for one think this is bad. There have been numerous sci fi plots where society knows every thought you think. It always ends badly.
There was even a Gilligan's Island episode where some seed let the castaways read each other's minds. It ended badly too.
Making it so that every word you utter must be PC or inoffensive, will ruin us all.

Good thing I wasn't on that show. That episode would have ended real early on, with Mary Ann slapping the **** out of me.

Interesting point and I think its true. True story: Where I work, where we have gone from having a Christmas Party, to a Holiday Party, and now it's called a Year End Celebration, one person I know apologized, APOLOGIZED, just for saying the word Christmas.
