62. I agree.
DU is a PC place. Personally, I think that both DU and the Party as a whole are way too PC.

Being PC is an affectation. It is about form and not substance. It is about making undue effort to manage appearances, not solve actual problems.

Being PC keeps us from having frank open discussion, distorts our sense of perspective and proportion and makes us appear weak, "out of touch" and soft. It also gives the "right" a weapon of our own making to belabor us with, often with effect. (And you can just hear their laughter when they do so!)
