No other article will even come close to being as unique nor honest as this one. Don't be discouraged by the title. This is NOT just another free speech rant, but a look at the what and why of political correctness as it affects a person's ability to speak freely and air their views, opinions, and even vocally speak truthful facts into their daily interactions with the world at large.
