<beep, Beep, BEEP!>  Look out!  Politically Correct alarm!!

Come on, Mr. Kamens, was it really necessary to point that out to this 
person who was making an honest comment?  This stifling attitude of the 
PC rad-Left crowd is, for me, a real turn-off.  It's oppressive, man!

Oh, and no, *I* wouldn't have said a "friendly and attractive young man" 
if that were the case - I'm a well adjusted American male who appreciates 
a beautiful woman.  Further, I wouldn't have thought less of her if she 
were not attractive or if the clerk was a man - I just wouldn't have made 
the "attractive" comment.  In that case, I might have said "helpful" but 
still have the good feelings of the Registry that the original poster 
had.

The Left has to lighten up - nobody is committing a sin by appreciating 
that which appeals to them.

I know, <sigh> take it to ne.politics...
