Summary: 



"Politically correct" is something that you feel pressure to be when you
walk into the office where you do petroleum geology during the summer
to find a petition which has been signed by all your supervisors, and
which supports James D. Watt as Secretary of the Interior.  

"Politically correct" is what you hope to appear as being when your boss
starts ranting about how great the Republican Party is, and how he's 
going to contribute to Ronald Reagan's presidential campaign, and all
you can muster in reply is an hypocritical smile and the words "I can
see how you might feel that way", or "Good for you, I'm glad you're doing
something you believe in".

"Politically correct" is something that everybody will assume that you
already are if you wear your hair a certain way, and wear certain clothes--
and that everybody will assume that you are not if you wear your hair 
a certain other way, and wear certain other clothes.

"Politically correct" is what you are when you're so smart you can actually
figure out how to speak and think and act like everybody else you know.
