DON'T SAY THAT WORD!!! (Big brother is listening)

I feel like the whole idea of political correctness has run amok.

There are new words added to the list everyday that we shouldn't use anymore and now its even a guessing game as to what those words actually are.

Tonight I watched an entire news report about a new "Politically correct" version of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn because the origin has been deemed offensive. WHAT!!!
Mark Twain novels are a part of American history and great literature and cannot be "re-written" and still pass along the same message.

To me a lot of the whole you can say this not that is a bunch of Bologna. I feel like the censorship of certain words only breeds more prejudice.
If all men/woman are supposed to be equal then why spend so much time pointing out how different every one is?

I think that we too often just sit back and watch as our freedoms get stripped from us. We love to complain about it but how often do we actually get up and DO something about it?
When was the last time that you got up off of your couch and went to a rally or even a town meeting to give your opinion on how things are being handled? Did you stand by quietly and just except the hand you were dealt or did you go on record saying you emphatically disagree with the decision being handed down?

We as a community, a city, state and country are all too ready to complain about how things are getting way out of hand and then either vote that same "idiot" into office or don't show up to vote at all.

How can we justify it? BY saying,"Well I didn't vote so its not my fault" or maybe, "Well my one vote doesn't count anyway!"

If you ever talk to your friends and neighbor and hear how much you share views don't you ever wonder how certain laws get passed especially when everyone you know had the same views? Its because so many can't be bother to exercise there right to vote.

It just really gets me how we can sit idly by and let pieces not just of classic literature but of American history be perverted it to something that only loosely resembles the original.
