[QUOTE="clutteredcloset49, post: 137149, member: 85"]I totally agree. Political correctness has gone too far in too many areas of our society. The world has history, some good and some not so good. To destroy documents and items that show what was wrong with society at that point in time is in itself a crime. How do you feel about ISIS destroying all those ancient ruins? Do we close Salem because they burned women as witches? Do we get rid of Plymouth rock because that was the invasion into the Native American land? What about black people who collect items from the days of slavery. Do we deny them their heritage by no longer selling slave related items. We may not agree with how history came to be, but we do not have the right to get rid of what was, so that we can re write it in a way that pleases our sense of morality.[/QUOTE]
