Politically Correct Speech

Political Correctness carries the day, these days.  It seems that the European Union is so worried that someone might be miffed should they be called by the title of "Miss" or "Mrs." that they have banned the use of such honorifics.  An article in Tuesday's Daily Mail reports that member countries may no longer have policemen or policewomen, either, only police officers.
  Some folks are fighting for freedom of speech against such lunacy.  You could join the Campaign Against Political Correctness, or maybe just educate yourself about the problems engendered by such regulations.  How long do you suppose such ideas will take to cross the pond?  Are they already here?  
Stay tuned...
