Here's my definition of "political correctness":

The negation of reality.

Being politically correct is dismissing and stuffing your honest thoughts. I'm old enough not to care to be pol correct. When we can't disagree then we've lost our freedom of speech.

Now, why do I suspect that there are more than a few Objectivists on this forum?

YEP! I totally agree!

We tell folks that "we're not the most p/c couple in the world." Usually gets a good laugh & agreement. (Our friends already know. Thank goodness they're the same way!)

Political correctness is nothing more than the antithesis of free speech. Those who resort to it either have no valid arguments, thus must resort to stifling the thoughts of others; or they are simply control freaks who have no respect for individual liberty.

Very close to the PC group (insert expletive of your choice) is the group who espouse that insult and objectification are evils against which all men are inherently to be protected. (Choose another or use the same expletive here.)

Both are used by pettifoggers who are otherwise non-contributing members of society.

Folks, everyone needs to review the SFG Forum posting policy about politics. I will start deleting posts if necessary.

Camp, You're right and I should have known better. I deleted my Post.

**AtlantaMarie** 8/7/2014, 1:08 pm

Thank you, Camp!

silly me

What would we do without you...?

svanahgirl 8/7/2014, 8:25 pm

Pettifoggers???? Great word, insert wherever? Like gimcracks and geegaws and whatyamacallits? Too funny!
PC is just respect for others. We are gardeners here to help each other. So understand when someone gets riled up, but there are so pretty nice folks here, me thinks. sunny

Screw in fuses! They always blew when it you turned the heater on and the store was miles away.

svanahgirl 8/10/2014, 8:57 pm

Think my Senseless Banter pages got mixed up, lol. Was looking at the screw in fuses but trying to find the thread about PC. Whoops, sorry.......

**camprn** 8/10/2014, 9:47 pm

Lol, no worries! Wink

While I was outside yesterday morning, I heard a loud WHOOMP that made me jump. The sound was deep and low, the kind you can feel. I walked around the house, didn't see anything amiss, so I shined it on. This morning I found the source out in my back garden: a 60 foot snag fell down. No wind or rain, it just decided it was time.

The top hit a hoop and broke the screws holding the hoop bracket on, and broke two leaves off a broccoli plant, but it will be fine.

I'm thinking I should go buy a lottery ticket!

**camprn** 8/10/2014, 10:35 pm

Jimminy crickets! Lucky!!! Go n get that ticket.

**sanderson** 8/11/2014, 1:24 am

Screws and 2 leaves. Talk about good luck!!! Very Happy

PS What is a snag?

Urban Dictionary: Snag

Sensitive New Age Guy (S.N.A.G).

In my case, in more ways than one, that's definitely not the right definition! Razz

One definition of snag is 'a standing, dead tree'.

**sanderson** 8/11/2014, 4:12 pm

So the non-snag had a snag snag a hoop bracket and broccoli leaves on it's way down.

I think it could be termed a "widow maker" in forestry speak?

You sure were lucky, boffer.
I was as well, earlier this year, when a snag came down and missed my gas meter by about two inches. I could not lift even one end of that branch. That is when I decided that my trees had to come down and from that I started BTE gardening in addition to my SFGing.

I was going to say widow maker but I couldn't remember if it referred to a tree or a limb. Maybe both?

I'm glad you were able to make lemonade from lemons. Those wood chips are certainly versatile.
