  1. "I believe that political correctness can be a form of linguistic fascism, and it sends shivers down
    the spine of my generation who went to war against fascism."

    [P D James, in the "Paris Review",
    (1995); quoted in the "Oxford Dictionary of Thematic Quotations"
    (1996)]

    Right on Brother James, right on.

    True, Bill

    The mind serves properly as a window glass rather than as a reflector, that is, the mind should give
    an immediate view instead of an interpretation of the world.

    Ask Scottie - he'll know for sure!

    Just can't get the young lad off your mind, eh?

    Steve has some odd obsessions. Don't ask, I'm sure he'll whip 'em out.

    Yeah, I'm sure we've all heard or seen PC madness, although IMHO it's more often used by the
    political Right as a big stick in an attempt to beat up on

    your authors correct?

    Brownie points for guessing who said: "The people can always be brought to the bidding of the
    leaders... All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for
    lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country."

    Heh, hadn't picked up on that.

    Glad to set the record straight Shaun. BTW, P. D. James, while she is one of the UK's great
    novelists working in the genre of crime fiction, is right wing establishment through and through.
    She worked for many years as a government civil servant and is a member of the House of Lords, with
    the title Baroness.
