Letter blindly misses point on PC

Editor,

My letter concerns the over dramatization of Political Correctness that was hurled in Kathy Hovisā response to Dave Flombergās ćPC blindly goes nowhere, everywhere,ä (The Metropolitan Nov. 7).Obviously, Kathy has blindly missed the point of Daveās column. In my opinion, Dave was not attacking the blind or acting superior.
He was just explaining the uselessness and hilarity of PC. The bottom line is that our society has created a lingo to avoid offending others. And Dave eloquently pointed out that it has become ridiculous. Sure, not offending others is good. But we live in a country where thereās more than 100 types of people, in which they themselves have 1,000 different issue. Must we cater to all sensitivities? We do not live in a world where people agree with each other.

If you care to dispute my claim, then watch the news. Itās a fact of life that people get offended. Well so be it, damnit! I donāt get offended when people call me white-bred, or honkey, etc. I just donāt care! No one should care. You canāt change the color of your skin or your gender, nobody can (except for Micheal Jackson). So dancing around the subjects with these vague terms and ridiculous multi-lingual signs, proves PC is insanely stupid. Especially in Cherry Creek. They should put up a sign reading ćIf you donāt have a Gold Mastercard, Gold Visa, or even an American Express, you are not allowed to touch anything.ä Finally, I advocate Daveās column profusely. And if there are any objections to it, then to hell with you!
