  • Answers - When Political Correctness in NOT a Virtue

    The other day I was sucker punched, hoodwinked, bamboozled, had the wool pulled over my eyes, and generally sidelined by an expert in Political Correctness. In fact, so sidelined did I get that I have been depressed for a week—and I mean really depressed.

    I have been catching all sorts of heck over the name of my book. More than one Politically Correct Disciple has informed me tha

    Mexican Living: Blogging it from a Third World Country.

    It is "Third World Country" that I have been told is not a "PC" term and therefore I have offended many.

    Well, you can imagine how I felt.

    First, I live in M

    I went scrambling to contact the publisher to see if I could change the title of the book—too late! I sent e-mails to everyone I have in my rather extensive writer's address book to see what they thought—American and Mexican alike.

    Smell the coffee I did and it stunk to high heaven.

    Just what is this Political Correct Cult supposed to be and what does it mean? Most importantly, how did I allow myself to become controlled by it?

    "Avoidance of expressions or actions that can be perceived to exclude or marginalize or insult people who are socially disadvantaged or discriminated against."

    Now, wait a minute: "That can be p
    and physically. They need to rightly judge the benefits of the combination products and they have to even look at the risks involved when combining the produ

    Someone gets themselves all twisted into a knot because of a "perceived insult"? Think of what this means! There can be as many perceptions as there are people to have them.

    think a moment.

    Is this any way to live? You go through life giving the power and control of your life over to your perception of words, or how someone might perceive your words.

    Isn't this what we are talking about?

    Are we not talking about someone hearing somethi

    Americans are people who actively and volitionally give away the power and control of their lives over to someone or something else—like words and the groups or indi

    As combination products don't fit into the traditional categories of drugs, medical devices, or biological products, the USFDA is in the process of devel

    To those who feel themselves to be marginalized or insulted:

    Why are you giving the power of your life over to words or the people who say them? They, the words and the speaker of them, have no more power over you than you allow.

    Think a

    Second: I fell right into the trap. My American upbringing was right there to enable me to swallow, hook, line, and sinker, the notion that I had insulted the e

    Nevertheless, look what this person did—in the name of "you don't want to be an offense to someone now, do you"?-—a manipulation citing Political Correctness--I fell into his trap and allowed this person to control my emotio
    .

    As there is an increasing trend of the combination products companies manufacturing such products should be able to tackle the problems involved in the de

    I gave the power over my well-being to SOMEONE'S PERCEPTION of a marginalization or insult.
