Fascism:

[Shaun Rimmer]

"I believe that political correctness can be a form of linguistic fascism, and it sends shivers down
the spine of my generation who went to war against fascism."

[P D James, in the "Paris Review",
(1995); quoted in the "Oxford Dictionary of Thematic Quotations"
(1996)]

Right on Brother James, right on.

True, Bill

The mind serves properly as a window glass rather than as a reflector, that is, the mind should give
an immediate view instead of an interpretation of the world.

Yeah, I'm sure we've all heard or seen PC madness, although IMHO it's more often used by the
political Right as a big stick in an attempt to beat up on

your authors correct?

Brownie points for guessing who said: "The people can always be brought to the bidding of the
leaders... All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for
lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country."

> your authors correct?

Heh, hadn't picked up on that.

I don't think MTBers think that hard, and roadies NEVER think that hard.

Glad to set the record straight Shaun. BTW, P. D. James, while she is one of the UK's great
novelists working in the genre of crime fiction, is right wing establishment through and through.
She worked for many years as a government civil servant and is a member of the House of Lords, with
the title Baroness.
