Political Correctness

With political correctness very much still alive and well in this country, maybe the time to just be normal is finally approaching. Let's take the recent examples set by our beloved leader in his foreign visits. The press (you know, these over-reactive, tattle tale, 'anything to get a story' creatures) made a lot about our president bowing to a Saudi King, and now he is being criticized for being chummy with Hector Chavez. I can remember when my previous president winked at Queen Elizabeth. The point here is that we are all human, and should remember the old saying 'when in Rome, do what the Romans do." I'm not particularly crazy about any of this, as I believe that world leaders should be properly schooled on local customs when traveling, but mistakes will always be a part of life. That's why they put erasers on pencils. With all that's happening on our volatile planet, there will always be more important things to address than political correctness.
