Wow.
Where will this PC movement take us?

Sometimes I wonder ... when exactly did this "victim" mentality pick up steam in America and to what can we trace its origins? Where will it end, or lose most of its faux popularity?

Amusing in its own way, but really, who is going to make it? We'll find out in the long run... **

*The report, which has Meyer's name and that of other students blacked out, said the officers did what was necessary to control the student.

"The utilization of the Taser in this situation was successful in its use to gain compliance of Meyer," the report states.

Police Chief Linda Stump defended her officers, but said, "Our purpose is, and has always been, to ensure a civil and safe environment where the many types of campus activities and open discourse can occur."


**Farnham's Freehold, behind the cheap sexxy parts of Stranger in a Strange Land, was my favorite Heinlein "book".
