text: what has contributed to america's obsession with political correctness? or, is it even a problem?   it started out with an effort to give respect to others. too many loud mouth experts demanding to be heard on the subject of hurt feelings. then unfortunately politicians got involved! you know that as a specie, they nothing about earning respect as to getting a free gift. if anyone is going to poop in the drinking water its these people. did not seem to be worth the fight so most people went along, till now. now we realize we have been quiet too long, nothing has changed, only that things have gotten worse. politicians are still taking the money & not doing the job. black leaders are still demanding respect when the should be making a case for more opportunities for people, better schools & teachers. do you think it is really necessary to live in grang ridden, falling down houses that get burned down every so often. i don't. now so many others want to go the same rout & our "leaders" un " " can't stand up like adults; they are too use to running away.
