Is Political Correctness going to kill you?

If you rely on the federal government,political correctness may do you in.James Lewis quotes Michael Barone:
"A team of Indiana firefighters, volunteering to help rescue victims of Katrina, went to Atlanta, where Federal Emergency Management Agency staffers told them that their job was to hand out fliers and that their first task was to attend a multi-hour course on sexual harassment and equal employment opportunity."

--- " This is, astoundingly, standard operating procedure at FEMA. And in other parts of the federal government."

--- "Former CIA agent Robert Baer writes in his recent book how in Central Asia he asked headquarters to send someone who spoke Afghan languages, and Langley offered to send a four-member sexual harassment team instead."
As we've said before,does that make you want to hand over health care to the federal government?
