Where do my rights end?
If you, or someone else doesn’t like something I say at what point should my right to say it be denied? The minute you extend the concept of yelling fire in a crowded theater which can result in physical injury, to something that hurts someone’s feelings, you are so far down the slippery slope I fear there is no fighting your way back up. It becomes he who yells the loudest or has the majority determines where freedom of speech is no longer protected. Our founders wrote the Bill of Rights and the Constitution to keep that from happening. So why are so many elected officials and citizens alike not demanding we stop being so intolerant of someone who thinks differently.
Does anyone really think being “Politically Correct” is anything other than someone or group of people telling other what to think? I have been accused of being too considerate, as I am willing to go out of my way in a store for example so as not to inconvenience someone else. So it’s not that I do not appreciate consideration. But being Politically Correct is not about consideration for others any more. It’s a mandate that there is one way to be correct and anything else is therefore incorrect.
