Speaking of political correctness . . .

There is an essay examining political correctness and related subjects, with a number of links which look worth exploring, up at Gates of Vienna. One of those quoted is Theodore Dalrymple: "When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies . . . they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is to cooperate with evil . . . . One's standing to resist anything is thus eroded . . . . A society of emasculated liars is easy to control." Mahfooz Kanwar (see preceding post) also gets an honorable mention.
