PC isn't about the Last Temptation of Christ; In your opinion. I didn't ask for that, I asked if you would accept the film being banned if someone in power found it bigotry and used PC methods to squelch it- squelching is something you say you support, at least when you get to do the defining. I'm curious to see if you'd support censorship when you don't get to decide what defines bigotry. you've mixed up so many ideas in your post. Feel free to point out an example. I don't use the fallacy of the complex question, on the contrary I like Occam's Razor. You have sought to define PC to your own convenience, as dealing with bigotry, profanity, public spaces. Those introductions may please you but they don't deal with political correctness. Perhaps you should read Henthoff's book, and you would learn that PC has been used to prosecute people for private opinions. Which is why liberals like Henthoff find PC dangerous.
