I think this quote sums it up perfectly:<br /><br />"Imagine a sphere completely covered with hair. If I give you a hairbrush and tell you to brush the hair so it lies down flat everywhere, guess what? — you can't. There will always be one point where the hair just whorls around and won't lie flat. There's actually a rigorous mathematical theorem to prove that. Something similar applies to political correctness. You can make it work here and you can make it work there, but you can't make it work everywhere."<br /><br />http://www.johnderbyshire.com/Opinions/RadioDerb/2012-06-15.html<br /><br />See also: "The Man Who Invented Racism".<br /><br />http://www.infotextmanuscripts.org/man_who_invented_racism_3.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
