More on Political Correctness
As I wrote here on Political Correctness. I define PC differently: Acting with courtesy and respect toward others.
OK, so the reader who sent me this is a boor. My wife and I were talking about my earlier post, and she asked, “How do we change people like this?” to which I replied, “We don’t. If we can’t get used to the fact that you’re surrounded by people like this, we’re going to have uncomfortable lives.”
Another point I would make about the meme here, and the reader may be too young to remember this, but Andy Griffith (the TV sheriff, not the actor) was one of the most refined and decent characters ever to grace American television screens in the 1960s. He would no more have said something like this than he’d call To Kill a Mockingbird protagonist Atticus Finch a “n*****-lover.”
I’m not sure what lesson we’re learning here in today’s America. Clearly, most people are good, and act kindly and respectfully toward others; incidents of racial hate or violence associated with COVID restrictions are rare, though, since they’re sensation, they tend to make the news.

Here’s a conversation on what Morgan Freeman says here:
I don’t know what poll this guy’s talking about, but Pew Research has the fraction of Democrat voters age 18 – 29 at almost exactly half (49%). In my mind, that’s a sad thought, not a happy one.
I grant that this is true, at least in the main. In fact, the American revolutionary from Vermont, Ethan Allen, said, “In those parts of the world where learning and science has prevailed, miracles have ceased; but in such parts of it as are barbarous and ignorant, miracles are still in vogue.” 
Comparing the level of atrocity of the heinous acts of Trump and his followers is apples-to-oranges, at best. Certain of these felons helped in Trump’s attempt to overthrow the U.S. government. That has to be at the top of the list.
