Enough with this PC stuff already!

The picture below is that of the new Arizona Border Patrol. I think it is hysterical.

Or is it Politically Incorrect?

Well that would depend on who sent it, who received it and who is going to make a lawsuit over it. I for one am getting a bit sick of this Political Correctness thing. Employees have to careful about what they say, who they say it to, and how they say it. There was a time when you said what was on your mind and everyone moved on. Not any longer. Now you say what is on your mind, and if it is deemed politically incorrect you get scolded or shown the door.

Now I am not suggesting outright meanness at all, but a little off color remark here or there or use of the word damn or crap won't kill anyone - and it just may be the little bit of levity your organization needs from time to time.

Maybe it's a better time to look at who you're hiring; maybe it's time to stop hiring those people who are looking for a fight - and then put them all on a cruise ship in the middle of the ocean, anchor the thing and put a very small pin hole in the bottom.
