You usually are more precise with your use of language.

Well, it was 3 am.

POlitically correct is a shorthand, I agree. I don't believe it is limited to sneering, but I have no urge to argue with you about it.

When you begin to allow cultures to carry out customs that are legal in nature, especially religious ones that could be in direct opposition to the secular law and constitutional rights of individuals, you will sooner or later have the conflict. Where do you draw the line? I know they say that people have recourse to the courts, but often the culture itself would prevent that option.

I think in the current climate we ignore the hard truths and possibilities in our desire to be inclusive and accommodating.

(Note how carefully I avoided saying PC!)
