years it's very difficult to speak to a large group of people these days

and not offend someone. Now people walk around their feelings on their

shoulders waiting for you to say something Ahhhhh! Did you hear that? And

they can't hear anything else you say. The PC police are out in force at all times.

I remember once i was talking to a group about the difference between the human brain and

a dogs brain. And a man got offended. He said you can talk

about dogs like that. But uh... People just focus in on that completely

missed the point of what you're saying. and um...

we've reached a point where people are afraid to actually talk about

what they want to say because somebody might be offended

people afraid to say "Merry christmas" at Christmas time. Doesn't matter whether

the person you're talking to is jewish or you know

whether they're ANY religion That's a salutation of greeting, of goodwill.

we've got to get over this sensitivity. you know and uh... it keeps people from saying

what they really believe. you know i'm reminded of a very successful

young businessmen and uh... he loved the buy his mother these

exotic gifts for Mother's Day and he ran out of ideas

and then he ran across these birds were cool you know they cost five thousand

dollars apiece they could dance. they could sing they could

talk he was so excited he bought two of 'em sent them to his mother couldn't wait to call

her up on mother's day mother mother What did you think of those birds?

and she said "They was good!"

he said "No no, no no, Mother! You didn't eat those

birds. They cost five thousand dollars apiece They could dance. They could sing. They could

talk." and she said well they should have said something.

and you know thats where we end up too if we don't speak

up for what we believe. and uh, you know

What we need to do... What we NEED to do in this PC world is forget

about unanimity of speach and unanimity of thought

and we need to concentrate on being respectful of those people with whom we disagree.

And that's when I belive we begin to make real progress.

And one last thing about political correctness, which I think is a horrible thing by the way,

I'm VERY very compasionate and I'm not ever out to offend anyone.

But PC is dangerous. because you see this country, one of the founding

principals was freedom of thought and freedom of expression

and it muffles people. It puts a muzzel on them.

And at the same time keeps people from discussing important issues

while the fabric of their society is being changed.

And we can not fall for that trick and what we need to do is start talking about things.

Talking about things that are important Things that were important in the developement

of our nation.
