The term "politically correct" has been pretty much destroyed and is now just an epithet always used with intent to insult. It originated with the far left to mean just what it says. Example: I once overheard the statement "There isn't a single politically correct grocery store left in all of Berkley!" spoken by a frustrated woman who wanted to do the right thing in accord with her ideology. They overused the term and carried it it extremes as ideologues will and then the right started using it to poke fun at them. They succeeded in converting it to a term of derision, and that's what it is today. > The politically correct are as intolerant as Puritans. All ideologues are as intolerant as Puritans. The latter were a prime example. -- John Hasler jhas...@newsguy.com Elmwood, WI USA
