At the same time, jawbs-groaf-burn-the-planet economic slogans remain in the 'polite' insanestream, almost like dialogue from Harriet Beecher-Stowe spoken by the ignorant well-to-do.

Here in the states, there was previously an outcry that universities were doing little to stop the prolific sexual assault that has been happening on campuses for eons. Now there is a movement to protect the predators, using the same laws meant to protect the victims. I see the problems with PC as much the same. Methods designed to protect turned around to further abuse. An age old tactic in the game of domination. It may just continue as long as humanity finds a need for psychodrama.

Helpful metaphor in understanding the PC issue - 'new man seduction rhetoric' and such. I find it hard to swallow that we have so much focus on PC coming from such as newsrooms full of the very problems they get on the high PC horse over - bright, shiny newsreaders doing bright shiny news with the ugly, fat and disabled rendered absent in the presentational focus.

In a view that includes good and evil, evil self perpetuates. Common sense cannot be legislated especially in social contract. People who hold views with prejudice and hate are likely to abuse attempts at PC because their own agenda must come first.

Maxwell gets very stubborn on being asked to get in the car at the end of his walk and doesn't respond to being told my flat right foot is sore and I have had enough. He is sensible enough to chase the car when I drive off and get in then. He claims dogs would decide when a walk is over in a fair world. I quote Gabby's Theorem at him to no avail. He adds that people can be right and wrong at the same time as well as right or wrong.PC isn't about being right or wrong - it's a rhetorical device to win on presentational appearance. A typical example is a politician saying she doesn't know there has been a cover up on institutional sexual abuse - this amounts to abuse of victims who are clearly saying they were abused and the obvious corollary there must have been a cover up given nothing was done about most of it. We do not yet have public approbation on this cruel language on victims, even though it is politically correct to say we must listen to victims. The language mechanisms in this are complex.Nice word Molly - must look it up!
