Livin in a pc world


In case you needed reminding we live in an ultra sensitive politically correct world. Everything is under scrutiny. Seemingly innocous things are suddenly under review and are being forced to change.
The latest tradition to go down in flames under the 'politically correct' banner are the patches New York City firefighters wear on their uniforms. Each station and sometimes even groups within a station had patches that would show their unique brand on the neighborhood and traditions that they protect.
You can read all the details HERE.
I will admit there were a few in here that seemed pretty close to the edge of acceptability (The Happy Hookers of Engine 279) but I'm not sure it was the right time to make a change to a fire department that is still nursing fresh wounds from 9/11. However, they are changing and it will be interesting to see what some of these departments will choose to represent them for the next hundred years. I'm especially interested in hearing what Engine 75 in the Bronx, the "Animal House", chooses to change to.
