- Should it come as a surprise that politically correct folk are
- more interested in their particular brand of dogma or ideology
- than in accurately discerning the truth? Reasoning processes do
- not seem to operate very well in people who have the PC virus.
-
- Perhaps someone can develop a utility program that will scan for
- PC code fragments in people's thought processes, and flag these
- for optional deletion, if the infected party consents....
-
- (shades of anti-PC thought control, Batman!)

- someone spike my punch? Then again, maybe I've been seeing too
- many gorgeous men and women in underwear lately...*chuckle*)
