Political Correctness Run Amuck

More and more we see stories like this where people of all kinds are looking to be offended. I don't believe that one can be offended unless one is actually looking to be offended.

Neil Giuliano, the former mayor of Tempe, Arizona says he wants to meet with the actor to discuss, "the destructive impact of these kinds of anti-gay slurs." I'm sure that would be an enlightening conversation, not!

Political Correctness has killed free speech and all types of communication in this country. People are afraid to say anything because it might offend someone.

I'm reminded of a lady who worked for me who complained to our HR department that people were staring at her because she was in her full Muslim dress outfit. (I don't recall the correct name of it all) She freaked that someone was staring at her and she 'knew' that they didn't like her because she was Muslim and she wanted them punished for it. Talk about crazy!

It's time we get back to good ol' conversation around here and let's have some meaningful dialogue as opposed to this foolishness.
