yes, i'd have to agree that the entire 'pc' movement has gotten a bit out 
of hand.  but i wouldnt agree that it's intentions werent good.  pc began 
as a movement to introduce greater sensitivity to all, and it has 
degenerated into a silly word game.  one cant critiscise the entire 
movement for that...

where i stand...if i can alter the words i use (or whatever) so that a 
person i'm trying to communicate with does not immediately disregard what 
i'm saying just based on my selection of words, i'm a happy gal. 
it doesnt put me out too much to try to be sensitive.  i want people to 
hear my meaning as opposed to the words i use.  if that means changing 
those words without destroying their meaning, and that my message is 
conveyed instead of ignored, i embrace 'pc' instead of throwing petty 
criticisms at it.

that's all.
