Political correctness.

Washington, D C 2120-September 1, 1945
To: D A MacArthur/C H Nimitz
From: H S Truman

 

Political Correctness is a doctrine, recently fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and promoted by a sick mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

 

Footnote: I cannot vouch for the veracity of the above but I am informed that a copy of the letter is in the Library of Congress.

Many thanks Rocky. I had not heard of it before, just struck me as rather funny! I had better be careful or I'll have the Brick and D.D chastising me for being frivolous and having nothing better to do!!!!!!

Wow that is an interesting fact, concerning the politically correctness of the watchamacallit

I still don't understand why things like the Fairy Penguin or Superb Fairy Wren have been renamed! Perhaps I am an ideological based person rather than a political correct based person!

Screw correctness, lets have normality!

My view political correctness can be good thing if there's an element of common sense to it.
