I hope this begins the necessary process of desanctifying PC and of restoring it to its rightful place as an instrument of balance and justice.

The small pamphlet is very well written and covers a lot of what I have studied in psychology books over the years and what I believe is becoming a huge problem. For those who have taken the time to learn the facts on the psychology of PC-ness it will be nothing new but it is written in a very clear and common-sense form that makes it a great read. Don't get me wrong I think there is a need for a degree of PC in our culture but nowhere near the level it is currently running at. The current use of PC as a weapon by extremists to get their views across without others having the ability to give a retort is a disgrace and is especially true where the extremist is deemed also as a "victim group".
Some people will wave the flag of this being dangerous talk but to be honest unless it is relaxed a backlash will happen and the usefulness of low-level PC'ness will be lost :(.
Great read, everyone who thinks the world is made of cuddly bunny rabbits should be forced to read it.

If I was well off, I'd buy a thousand copies of this book, and give them away for free to politicians, social workers and the HR departments of our major companies. The book articulates our inward suspicions about the PC brigade in a masterly manner. You've heard of the Parable of the Emperor's New Clothes no doubt. When you read this book, exposing Political Correctness for what it is, you too will do the equivalent of that boy and yell out 'He's in his underwear!' The author should be awarded an OBE for 'Services to Humanity.'
