John Cleese says political correctness has gone too far. The very essence of his trade - comedy - is criticism and that not infrequently means hurt feelings. But protecting everyone from negative emotion all the time is not only impractical (one can't control the feelings of another), but also improper in a free society. Cleese, having worked with psychiatrist Robin Skynner, says there may even be something more sinister behind the insistence to be always be politically correct. Do a Google search for 'political correctness mass hysteria'. It is a very valid comparison. Jim Bell
