I love people who use political Correct speech. I just tell them I don't know what they mean or what they're talking about & could they please explain what they mean. If they ignore me I insist & get everybody else to insist. It's great fun watching them squirm.

I tell them that Politically Correct speech offends me. I can always get people to back me up because people are fed up with it. People usually don't object because they are afraid of being seen as, "not with it." but when other people complain about it they get some courage & speak up also.

Sayings I don't like, "Passed over", for died. "Gay" for Homosexual. "Mentally challenged" for bloody nuts. "Refugees" for boat people. "Obese" for fat. etc, etc.

I don't like Corporate Speak either.

It's all lying.

The late Charlton Heston's speech on political correctness (and the culture war) is recognised as an example of great American oratory. It is an eye-opener, especially for the many people who grew up with political correctness being instilled in them from birth and experience difficulty imagining life without it.

Charlton Heston's speech is short. Here it is spoken by the great man and also transcribed,

Beach, Charlton Heston dead! strewth, strike a light and stone the crows, that's what ya get for play n' Moses and John The Baptist and never play n' god! I thought he was still alive and kick n'.

Dear Paul,

He died of pneumonia having been diagnosed with
alzheimers earlier. I met him backstage at the Mark
Taper Forum in Los Angeles when he
was still in his "salad days" (fresh and green),
and acting in a play called, "The Crucible."
Unfortunately, he was a lousy stage actor - he couldn't
project on stage as he could in the movies where
the camera did the work. On stage he was very different
and out of his depth. But it was exciting nevertheless -
being able to say, "I saw Moses on live on stage!"
And backstage - he was a gentleman. A lovely man

cont'd ...

My apologies, my husband has just corrected me.
It was the Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles,
not the Mark Taper Forum where we met Mr Heston.
