<<<Does not being "politically correct" then put one into the dangerous category? After all, isn't not allowing being inoffensive to anybody pretty much the same as not allowing dissent?>>> I agree with you, of course. It allows freedom of speech to those who speak what you want to hear. Of course, "being" politically correct in one's own views isn't precisely the same as codifying one's views to force them down the throat of those with differing views. "Not allowing being offensive," though, might also be interpreted more personally and less legalistically-- those who have no power to codify may still wrap themselves in the mantle of PC thought and make it socially costly to express a differing view.
