     "Political Correctness" basically means the following.
A calls B "politically correct" if B is doing something or
advocating something that B thinks will change the world for the
better, but A doesn't think it will change the world for the
better and also wants to suggest that B is doing it out of
trendiness or for the sake of appearances.

     That's what it has always meant, even when it was used only
BY left-wing, progressive people, to describe OTHER left-wing,
progressive people.  Now, when used by the likes of George Will
and our UBC Engineer friend here, it's basically a witch-word
used on left-wing people whose views you don't like, to
associate them with all kinds of other ridiculous positions.

     The use of "politically correct" by people who don't
believe in any form of activism for change in society is just a
lame joke.
