Summary
Concerning Saturday's editorial cartoon (May 13), the people depicted therein bowing to the god PC have been conditioned through repetition, not reason, to define good out of existence. All morality is relative, says the god: the United States is the moral equal of Castro's Cuba and of Red China today. Who are we to make value judgments?The PC god demands inoffensive speech while its acolytes offend the majority. Does a group wish a cross to be removed because it offends? Remove it - we are all equal. Does someone defend America? To the wall! America is evil because George Washington had slaves and grew hemp. Who are we to judge? - A contradiction? Not if the god says it isn't.Let us line up a few more ideas as a PC-worshiper might view them. These have the sanction of his group, and the group is his god:Right and wrong, good and evil, do not exist. The word we use instead is - inappropriate. But not in the case of that which we are ordered to hate.Western literature is worthless: it mirrors the reader's bias.All religions are equivalent. Christianity is evil.All cultures are equivalent. Western civilization is corrupt and evil.9/11 didn't happen because we must forget it. If it did happen, it was our fault.My question: Who bows to the PC god? Before I retired from teaching I told a class - the subject was George Orwell's ``Politics and the English Language'' - that the PC fad wouldn't last a year. I predicted people would laugh. Ha.Whatever happened to our sense of humor? We could easily ridicule PC out of existence. Why hasn't the laughter begun? Someone? Anyone?Peter A. ParmantieOffending majority OK with PC god
