The phrase is garbage. While originally devised to _ describe "political lines," it is now misused to attribute the negative trappings of such lines to anyone who dares to make a comment betraying an insufficiency of ultra-hip apathy. The phrase is the tool of the person who would avoid the debate by flaming the debater. ___ __ Indeed, Ann, some of your own comments would be flamed as _ "politically correct" if you were to post them to a less friendly newsgroup. <_Jym_> :::.-----.::: Jym Dyer :::::: jym@mica.berkeley.edu :::.______.::: ::/ o o \::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::| Damn |\:: ::\ \___/ /:: I put my panties on one leg at a time. ::| Fine |/:: :::`-----':::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::`------':::
