A magician gives you a ring that, when worn, will let you see the world as it truly is.
However, the ring will never leave your finger, and you will be unable to ever describe to another living person what you see.
To-day, then, since I have opportunely freed my mind from all cares [and am happily disturbed by no passions], and since I am in the secure possession of leisure in a peaceable retirement, I will at length apply myself earnestly and freely to the general overthrow of all my former opinions.
I have to say, the bit about white Christian male privilege was a stroke of genius. I don't know how I'm going to top that. I'm pretty sure it's going to involve something about sheeple though. Maybe something about Nixon...
I don't know, sometimes I think I set myself impossible tasks that I can't possibly finish. That way I can never be judged, you know?

I don't think political correctness or lack thereof is restricted to one or another political party, even in generalizations. There are obviously pundits and speakers in both camps who are not PC, Limbaugh being one obvious one. But for every offensive conservative asshole there's another whacked-out screaming liberal making politically incorrect comments, too. Jeremiah Wright, for instance. I'd categorize him as liberal, unfortunate as that is.
I'm extremely liberal myself, and I subscribe to the policy of sugar attracting more bees, etc. But I also think there's a fine line between politeness and ineffectual tip-toeing (and I'm not very good at being PC) so it's probably good that I'm not on any party payrolls.

Well generally, Democrats have made an effort to expand PC speech, although less so recently
And again, speaking generally, Republicans have made it a point to attack PC speech
clearly neither group universally uses or does not use PC speech, but the two parties and liberals/conservatives generally have aligned with and against, respectively, the idea of PC speech.

The best moment is the "ha! well you tried to troll me and it didn't work, as I think any of the posts I have made in the last... hour... of responding will... demonstrate. Shit."
If you have nothing better to do than post in this thread, may I interest you in a little ED? I like to call it intellectual suicide. It's like concentrated cyanide for the soul.

On the subject of anarchy:
Go to 4chan, go to the /b/ section, hang around for an hour, and if you're a normal person with morals and a good heart you'll understand why anarchy sucks.

Also protesting for the sake of protesting is gayer than the death of Horatio Nelson.
The only protest I've ever been involved in was when I was briefly part of an angry crowd at a Neo-Nazi rally on the lawn of the State House here in Columbia
I mean, if you gotta protest something, Neo-Nazis seem like a good thing to get mad at

I can see that. I can't help but think when I see people counter-protest Neo-Nazis, which usually boils down to them shouting WHITE TRASH every time the skinheads shout WHITE POWER, that if shit got violent and sketchy the Neo-Nazis would RUIN the counter-protesters.
would make 'postpartum depression' a defense to mruder
By Jim Forsyth
Sunday, March 22, 2009
A measure introduced in the Legislature would make Texas the first state in the country to essentially allow women to kill their newborn babies, and face relatively minor punishment for it.
State Rep Jessica Farrar (D-Houston), has introduced a bill to create a new crime called 'infanticide.'
It would allow postpartum mental disorder to be sued as an affirmative defense against a murder charge, if a mother murders a child 12 months old or less.
Under Farrar's bill, if jurors find a mother guilty of murder, they could take testimony about postpartum issues into consideration during the punishment phase of the trial.
If jurors find that the mother's 'judgment was impaired because of childbirth of lactation,' they could then judge her guilty not of murder but of 'infanticide,' which would carry a punishment of no more than two years in a state jail.
Murder is a Class A felony, punishable by up to 99 years in prison. In the case of a mother who kills a child, that time is now spent in the state's maximum security prison for women in Gatesville.
Farrar says postpartum depression is recognized as a legal defense in 29 nations worldwide.
