I thought you were going to mention the last line in this bit (which just goes to show how far we still have to go).

I find that many people complain about political correctness until you offend them. It's like Libertarians complaining that they can't legally fuck you over, then getting all pissy and claim "there ought to be a law" when they feel they have been slighted in some way. Generally it's over minor annoyances like someone driving "only" 5 mph over the speed limit in the fast lane.
