... now that I have your attention, I'd like to try a little thought experiment:
We all wake up tomorrow to a world without "Political Correctness." The very concept has been instantly expunged from society.
For the purpose of this thread I would like to offer a definition of "Political Correctness" as "the concept that a person's words can have negative repercussions on their professional and/or personal life because someone, somewhere, might be offended by them, either on their own or someone else's behalf." (If anyone has a better definition, I'm willing to consider it)
Anywho, it's now gone...what happens next?
