George Orwell again?
The left has always been there. The League of Nations gave us World War 2. The United Nations gave us the Serbian, African, Middle East wars.

Both the Klavan piece and the response by La Shawn are thoughtful pieces of work. I believe that much of the trend toward PC-ness is due to the fact that there are now large numbers of Americans who spend their entire professional lives working with *words*, to the extent that the distinction between speech and action has become lost to them.

If you’re a farmer, a machinist, or an engineer, the difference between speech and action is pretty clear–much less so if you’re a lawyer, a journalist, or a professor (in a field outside the hard sciences).

I, for one, am sick to death of all the PC crap, I’m blunt and to the point and frankly, don’t give a flying fig who I may offend. If more people were less afraid of speaking their minds this world would be a better place.
But thats just my opinion.
