Powerful, cogent, The truth. Unless something drastic is done, political correctness grow even more. In Britain, the police are now to use "new speak" to avoid the terms "Asian" and "Black". It is "Visible Ethnic Minorities".

I search for a decisive counter to this disease (PC). Alas Canadians do not have the sense of humour, that likely has died in England. One day, I hope someone in the United States will start a huge horse laugh against PC. If that happens, the humourless, doctrinaire elite both in government and on the campus, will shrivel.

If it was'nt so deadly, PC could be the biggest joke, since cartoonist Tom Nast plastered Tamany Hall. Circa 1900. The seasons best to all.

To self: Thomas Nast 1840-1902. Created the Republican Party symbol- The Elephant. Much earlier than 1900, I believe in the 1870's onward. He helped destroy a powerful political machine, Tammany Hall. His cartoons were the "greatest".

The heck with you! Merry Christmas, Joyous Christmas, Blessed Christmas!

When it's spring, summer, or autumn, you may wish me the "Season's Best." But right now, this is Christmas and it is the 2nd most high Holy day in my religion -- second only to the Resurrection!

Please do not denigrate it to the level of a season. Thank you.

Southpark is the biggest non-PC force in our culture now. I know a lot of people on FR hate the show, but like it or not, this show has become an icon for young people's disdain for PC.
