I despise political correctness. Often what starts as a handful of good ideas snowballs into something not unlike totalitarianism. A quest to subordinate free thought to ideology. "Politically correct" is to all thinking people an oxymoron concealing a very dark agenda.

I am definitely not one of the people who would drop back to candlelight in order to forgo nuclear energy. I reject the idea that technology itself is somehow evil or unclean. In fact, I believe that the continual heightening of technology will lead to a cleaner lifestyle with a much higher standard of living.

The very best material for candles, in a technologically appropriate setting (ca. 1860 tech) is beef tallow, with lamb a close second. The great fuel commodity of that era was whale oil.

Pass the butter...
