    mel:
    The terms "Political Correctness" and "Science" seem to stand
    for two notions in opposition to each other, conceptually.

    PC is an attempt to limit intellect behavior to an approved
    set of static quality social forms.

    Science is a methodology to pursue knowledge about
    anything and by definition not limited to the static, but
    capable of pursuing the dynamic as well.

    So, to my understanding a scientific approach seems to
    at the very least independent of PC, if not outright antagonistic
    to the notion of PC as anything more than a minor social form.

    thoughts ?

    thanks--mel
