[Platt] ... because bad mouthing certain groups like Christians and conservatives is not only permitted but encouraged.
[Arlo] Oh the poor oppressed Christian Conservatives. How they suffer! Nonetheless, "political correctness" has nothing to do with "bad mouthing", and everything to do with the agenda of both political parties. Witness how the Right responds to ANY perceived insult or slight against America... you are immediately demonized into a terrorist, traitor, commie, anti-liberty, evil zombie. In addition, Pirsig too said that you most certainly can speak out against ideology (because it can be changed), but biology is irrelevant. There is a huge difference between pointing out that a group of ideologues are buffoons, and thinking that "niggers" are are inferior race (or "kykes" or "spics", or whatever). In many ways, I am glad I don't live in a world where the mentally-challenged are called "retards". Do we go too far in calling garbagemen "sanitation engineers"? Maybe. But its balance. Do those on the "left" go too far? Sure. Do those on the right? You bet. And what's "hilarious" is again watching another topic reduced to that woefully moronic "them evil acerdemic leftists" by our resident talk-radio buffoon.
