Objectivity
I'm reading a book on Objective C. It isn't objective, or even written well. The book has about the same effect on me as a hand full of Valium. My eyes droop and I start to drool on myself predictably each time I read another chapter.

Objectivity is difficult, and I don't mean object oriented programming, which is mostly just boring, useless jargon to all but a few. On the other hand political correctness comes all too easily to most. It's easy to agree blindly. It's easy to shut up. It's easy to be fashionable.

Objectively there are many benefits to that, it frees the mind from so much work that would otherwise prevent the idle enjoyment of popular television shows, not to mention shopping malls. There are more benefits still. It is most of all safe to be politically correct, or safer I should say. Nothing is ever risk free. You can avoid most individual dangers by running with the largest herd.

I can be objective, I just can't be politically correct. There are too many more disadvantages to it than there are benefits, too many opportunities lost.

With that resolve long resolved in my mind, I can say with confidence what needs to be said. Right now that is "Jane, you ignorant slut."

Jane in this case actually goes by the handle of crimsonbagonia, and is an all too typical poster child for moral panic and Gap jeans she bought at the mall.
