Many of the other threads are getting full, and are wandering on and off the subject of political correctness. I'm throwing out a quote from a recent book review (YOU CAN'T SAY THAT, by David E. Bernstein, as an example of rampant stupidity:

"The mother of a chubby teenager sues the San Francisco Ballet for not accepting her daughter into its professional program, accusing it of "weight discrimination." The city of Denver, under pressure from American Indian activists, refuses to issue a Columbus Day parade permit unless the organizers promise that "there will be no references, depictions or acknowledgement of Christopher Columbus during the parade.” The Oregon Newspaper Publishers Association bans 80 words and phrases from real estate ads to avoid liability under fair housing laws; the list includes phrases like "near church" and "walking distance to synagogue."

Is this still America? I think a lot of people need to be lined up and slapped - get over it - get a hobby - leave us alone!
