It is time for me to stir the pot again.
I have observed a trend over the past few decades that has caused me to ask the following questions. Please don’t take me to task. These are honest questions. I’d like to know what people really think.
How much is too much?
Where does political correctness end?
Just how careful must a person be in speaking to not offend
another? Because one person is, or a
large number of people are offended, does that mean that everybody should be
offended? Are people with views that are
different than others to be silenced? Do
we socially punish people for what they believe or think or say? If so, how far should social punishment
go? Must there be formal sanctions
against those whose opinions differ from a majority or a minority
population? Have we come to expect, even
demand politicians of every ilk to step to the podium’s microphone to condemn
those who have expressed an opinion that is not “politically correct”? If we are to judge a person by character and
not skin color, race, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, religion,
weight, or political affiliation, should we be judging and then condemning people
by what they say instead of what they do?
