Well yes, the PC Mafia I agree. They are the religious right of the PC crowd, HAHA. If you can say that... I'm against all coercion. When its roots are in agenda I bristle.

I think a significant slice of society are honestly trying to relabel to be more respectful. I've no problem with that kind of sensitivity. Overall if a human being is honestly trying to be sensitive to another then it is a show of respect.
I've never been fond of the word "retarded" nor "handicapped". THey have a note of finality that I don't agree with. I'm OK with "challenged" as a quick sample. On the other hand some might call me vertically challenged. Fuch that. I'm 44 and my height is pretty ******* final. I'm short.

For the politically adroit the term "PC" is now being thrown around casually as a wide sweeping political label which I disagree with. Another symptom of intellectual laziness. But, hey! We all need new buzz words to keep things SPICEY!
