how effective are they in this realm?


The smart way to keep people passive and obedient

is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion

but allow very lively debate within that spectrum

even encourage the more critical and dissident views

That gives people the sense that there's free thinking going on

while all the time the presuppositions of the system are being reinforced

by the limits put on the range of the debate..


~ Noam Chomsky ~



Political correctness is the narrowing of the range of acceptable opinions

to those held by a small group that enforces it

It is a attempt, often successful

to coerce the majority to accept the opinions of the enforcing group

by suppressing any contrary opinion

and making independent thought unacceptable..



The most dangerous man, to any government

is the man who is able to think things out for himself

without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos..
